Etymology
Possibly from a late Proto-Indo-European textile term *peh2-neh2 (‘cloth, woven fabric’), perhaps reflected also by Latin pannus (‘cloth, rag, garment’). The comparison is disputed: the Latin geminate and the vocalic variation make a regular inherited etymology difficult, and de (Vaan 2008) treats the set as possibly borrowed from an unknown source. (Kroonen 2013) instead derives the forms from PIE *ph2-no- or *peh2-nó- (with Dybo’s law), explaining Latin pannus through a disputed Latin gemination (“littera-rule”) (“littera-rule”).
