The word "Berrett" is derived from the Middle English term "beret" or "berit", which in turn came from the Old French word "beret" or "berret", meaning a soft, round cap. This Old French term can be traced back to the Late Latin word "birrus", meaning a hooded cloak made of heavy fabric. The word "berrett" eventually evolved to refer to a specific type of cap worn by members of the Catholic clergy as part of their traditional vestments.
