Word OriginMiddle English: from Old French, literally ‘piece of cloth’, based on Latin pannus ‘(piece of) cloth’. The early sense ‘piece of parchment’ was extended to mean ‘list’, which led to the sense ‘advisory group’. Senses (1) to (3) come from the late Middle English sense ‘distinct section of a surface’.
