Etymology

The word 'nappy' originated in the late 18th century as a colloquial term for a baby's diaper. It is derived from the Middle English word 'nap', meaning a piece of cloth used for wrapping around the body. Over time, the term 'nappy' has evolved to also describe the state of being sleepy or having a nap, particularly in British English.
