Etymology
From Middle High German *pappe (attested 15th century, but earlier the derivative pepelen, from the source of modern Papp (“thick soup, mash”). Also compare modern päppeln. The original sense of the word was “pap, mush cooked from flour” and “wheatpaste, flour-based glue”. It was then used for a material of book covers made by gluing together several sheets of paper, whence finally “any thick layer of paper” (18th century). The older sense is continued by regional Papp, which see for more.
