French

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 Middle High German vëder, federe ‎(“feather"/"fur”).
