armor for people whose battles are fought against marinara and flour.
means A protective garment tied over the front of the body to shield clothing from spills, splatters, and stains while cooking, cleaning, or crafting.
from A word born from a mishearing. The original was 'napron,' from Old French 'naperon,' a little tablecloth, related to 'nappe' (cloth). For centuries people said 'a napron' — until ears slid the 'n' over to the article, and 'a napron' quietly became 'an apron.' (The same hiccup turned 'a nadder' into 'an adder.') So 'napkin' and 'apron' are long-lost cousins, both descended from that Latin 'mappa,' a cloth.
