piccadilln.Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French piccadille. Etymology: < French †piccadille (1589 in Middle French; also 1611 in Cotgrave as †picadille ) inside part of a sleeve, glossed in Cotgrave as ‘the seuerall diuisions or peeces fastened together about the brimme of the collar of a doublet’, of uncertain origin. Spanish picadillo (see picadillo n.) has been suggested as the etymon of the French word, but is apparently only attested in the sense ‘minced meat, hash’; however, compare picadura ornamental gusset (1626), and also Occitan picadura embroidered textile. Compare early modern Dutch pickedillekens (plural) fringes, hems (1599; probably < French, with suffix -ken -kin suffix), Dutch regional (Flanders) pikkedil small ribbon on a coat collar (beginning of the 20th cent. or earlier).In the absence of definite evidence for the word in Spanish, the γ. forms perhaps show the influence of peccadillo n. Compare also Piccadilly n., and see etymological note at that entry.
