PILLION

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 610 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PILLION , a
light
 
saddle
  without
pommel
  or bow, especially a pad fastened to the back of an
ordinary
 
saddle
 , as a seat for another person, generally a woman. Pillions were also used to support baggage. They were in common use from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The word appears to have been adapted into
English
  from the Irish pillin, cushion, formed from Lat. pellis, skin. In the sense of a hat worn by a priest or
doctor
  of divinity, " pillon " or " pylion " occurs in the 15th and 16th centuries. This is probably from Lat. pileus, a conical
felt
  hat or cap, Gr. wcaor.
