beret
A beret ( or 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary.com Unabridged )〕 ; ) is a soft, round, flat-crowned hat, usually of woven, hand-knitted wool, crocheted cotton, wool felt, or acrylic fibre.
Mass production began in 19th century France and Spain, countries with which it remains associated. Berets are worn as part of the uniform of many military and police units worldwide, as well as by other organisations.〔Kilgour, Ruth Edwards. A Pageant of Hats Ancient and Modern. R. M. McBride Company, 1958.〕
== Etymology ==
The French word ''béret'', from which the English term derives, is based on the Béarnais ''Berret'', a "sort of flat woollen cap, worn by the local peasants".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Etymology of Beret (French) )〕 It was first mentioned 1835 in French and in the 19th century in English.〔T.F. Hoad, ''English Etymology'', Oxford University Press 1993, p. 39.〕 This word is related to the English ''biretta'' "clerical square cap", borrowed itself from the Spanish ''birrete'' of the same etymology.〔Hoad 39 - 41.〕〔(Etymology of ''birrete'' (Spanish) )〕 Most specialists think it is a diminutive form ''biretum'' of the Low Latin ''birrum'', which means "sort of short cloak with a hood" (brevis''" ),〔Hoad 41〕〔(Etymology of Beret (French) )〕〔Pierre-Yves Lambert, ''La langue gauloise'', éditions errance 1994. p. 188.〕〔Xavier Delamarre, ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise'', éditions Errance, Paris, 2003, p. 75.〕 that is from Gaulish ''birros'' "short".〔lambert 188.〕〔Delamarre 75.〕 This word is a close relative to Old Irish ''berr'' "short", Welsh ''byr'', Breton ''berr'' "short", all thought to be from Proto-Celtic ''
*birro-''.〔〔Lambert 188.〕 The Greek word βίρρος is borrowed from Latin.〔
