- piece
- piece: [13] Piece is probably ultimately of Celtic origin. It comes via Anglo-Norman pece from medieval Latin pecia or petia, which appears to have been borrowed from *pettia, an unrecorded word in the Celtic language of ancient Gaul. This would have been descended from an Old Celtic base *pett- that may also be the source of English peat [14]. Anglo-Norman *peche, a variant form of pece, of dialectal origin, gave English patch [14].
=> patch, peat - piece (n.)
- c. 1200, "fixed amount, measure, portion," from Old French piece "piece, bit portion; item; coin" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *pettia, probably from Gaulish *pettsi (compare Welsh peth "thing," Breton pez "piece, a little"), perhaps from an Old Celtic base *kwezd-i-, from PIE root *kwezd- "a part, piece" (cognates: Russian chast" "part"). Related: Pieces.
