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