Etymology

From Old French panne (“a fur lining; a warp resulting from such a lining, hence a breakdown”) from Medieval Latin panna, alteration of Latin penna (“quill”) from pinna (“feather, wing”). The transition of sense from "feather/wing" to "fur" is due to an associative analogy to the corresponding Frankish word *feder, which could mean both "feather" and "fur"; compare Old High German vëder, federe (“feather"/"fur”).
