"抵押品或存放的担保物,如借款的担保物",15世纪晚期(12世纪中期作为盎格鲁拉丁语 pandum)源自古法语 pan, pant "抵押品,担保物",同时也指"战利品,掠夺物",可能源自法兰克或其他日耳曼语源(比较古高地德语 pfant,德语 Pfand,中古荷兰语 pant,古弗里斯兰语 pand "抵押品"),源自西日耳曼语 *panda,其起源不详。
古法语单词在形式上与 pan "布料,一块布"相同,源自拉丁语 pannum(主格 pannus)"布料,一块布,衣物",曾被认为是古法语和西日耳曼语单词的源头(基于布料作为交换媒介的概念),但《世纪词典》指出"这种联系似乎是牵强的"。

Noun (1) Middle English powne, paun, borrowed from Anglo-French poun, paun, peoun "person traveling on foot, pawn in chess" (continental Old French also peon, pion "foot soldier"), going back to Late Latin pedōn-, pedō "person with flat feet, person going on foot" (Medieval Latin, "foot soldier") from Latin ped-, pēs foot >entry 1 + -ōn-, -ō, suffix of nouns denoting persons with a prominent characteristic Note: Anglo-French poun, paun reflects northern or eastern French dialects, where metaphony of the original pretonic front vowel has apparently resulted in a back vowel—unlike central French, where /ɛ/ was raised to /i/ and later lost syllabicity (hence Modern French pion). In Middle English—in at least the realization that has survived in Modern English—the vowel nucleus fell in with the au diphthong that arose from French an- plus a dental consonant. Compare pioneer >entry 1, peon. Noun (2) Middle English pawyn, paun, borrowed from Middle French (Walloon, French Flanders) pan "pledge, surety," probably borrowed from one or more Germanic words, as Middle Dutch and Middle Low German pant "security, pledge," going back to West Germanic *panda- (whence also Old Frisian pand, pond "surety," Old Saxon pand, Old High German pfant), of uncertain origin Note: The vowel of the Modern English word reflects an earlier diphthong that is the regular Anglo-French outcome of -an- plus a dental consonant, though textual evidence for pan in Anglo-French appears to be lacking. In Scots the word is attested as pawnd in 1431, several decades earlier than the first attestations in England, and forms with a final d still are found in Scotland in the eighteenth century. The earliest and apparently the sole Medieval Latin evidence for pandum in Britain is also in a Scottish text, from the twelfth century. As pan "pledge" in medieval French is identical with pan "piece of cloth, tail of a shirt" (see pane), it has been claimed that they are the same word, a piece of cloth having served as the token of a surety given to a creditor; the Germanic words would then have been borrowed from French. This would leave the final -t/-d of the Germanic words unexplained, however. Moreover, the Germanic words are attested earlier—eighth century for Old High German pfant, eleventh century for Old Saxon pand—while the French word is apparently first attested in 1214 (per Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch), and from regions (French Flanders, Hainaut, Lorraine) in contact with Germanic speakers. The source of the Germanic word is uncertain—see discussion in Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Althochdeutschen. If the word was a borrowing of Latin pondus "weight" (see pound >entry 1), it must have taken place at a very early date, before the separation of a and o by quantity in proto-Germanic. Verb derivative of pawn >entry 2
The first known use of pawn was in the 14th century
