Etymology

From late Middle High German *pappe (pap, mash). The noun is attested in the 15th century, but compare the derivative pepelen (“to feed, foster”, modern päppeln) in the 13th century. According to Frings, who considered it originally Rhenish, ultimately a borrowing from Latin pappa (word called by infants for food). However, independent origin in onomatopoeia and baby-talk (Lallwort) is now considered likelier. Note also that Middle High German pepelen above is in fact attested in an Austrian source.

The same word as Dutch pap, English pap.
