PALL

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 635 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALL , a word the various meanings of which can be traced to the Latin word
pallium
 , that is, a piece of cloth used either as a covering or as a garment. In the last sense the
pallium
  was the ifTwv, the square or oblong-shaped outer garment of the Greeks. In the sense of a garment the English usage of " pall " is confined to the ecclesiastical vestment (see PALLIUM) and to the supertunica or dalmatic, the pallium regale or imperial mantle, one of the
principal
 
coronation
  vestments of British sovereigns. The heraldic bearing known as a " pall " takes the form of the Y of the ecclesiastical vestment. The
chief
  applications of the word, in the sense of a covering, are to an altar frontal, to a linen cloth used to veil the chalice i'n the Catholic service of the Eucharist, and to a heavy black, purple or white covering for a coffin or
hearse
 . The livery companies of London possessed sumptuous state palls for the funerals of their members, of which some are still in existence. The Merchant Taylors' company have two examples of Italian workmanship. The so-called " Walworth pall " of the Fishmongers' company probably
dates
  from the 16th century. The Vintners' pall is of cloth of gold and purple velvet, with a figure of St Martin of Tours, the company'sipatron saint.
An entirely different word is " to pall," to become or make stale, insipid or tasteless, hence to cease to
interest
  from constant repetition; this is a shortened form of " appal " (O. Fr. appallir, to become
pale
 ; Lat. pallidus).
