Definition apron

Etymology

Rebracketing of napron (a napron ? an apron), from Middle English naperon, napron, from Old French napperon, diminutive of nappe (“tablecloth”), from Latin mappa (“napkin”). The phrase a napron was reinterpreted as an apron, which is why the initial n is now missing. For other similar cases of rebracketing, see adder, daffodil, newt, nickname, orange, trickle, umpire.
