Etymology

Borrowed from Old Norse pipari, or maybe from Old Swedish pipar (whence also Finnish pippuri, dialectal pipari, Estonian pipar), itself a borrowing from Latin piper, also a borrowing from Ancient Greek πέπερι (péperi), ultimately from Sanskrit पिप्पलि (pippali, “long pepper”) (via Iranian), apparently also borrowed from some non-Indo-European language. In Latvian, pipari is an old borrowing, already found in 15th- and 16th-century family and house names. In 17th- and 18th-century dictionaries, German-influenced variants (pipere, piperis; cf. Low German peper) were found; the form pipari appeared in the 18th century, and became dominant in the 19th century. See: Old Norse Nouns 'pipari', Finnish Nouns 'pippuri', Latin Nouns 'piper', Ancient Greek Nouns 'πέπερι'.
