Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'baby', derived from Middle English baben denoting an infant, and 'diaper', originating from Old French diapre via Medieval Latin diasperum referring to a patterned white cloth. Over centuries, 'diaper' transitioned from describing the fabric itself to denoting the absorbent garment worn by infants who are not yet toilet-trained.
