Etymology of COIFFE

The word "coiffe" entered the English language in the mid-18th century from the French language. However, its origin can be traced back to the Old French "coife", which meant a head covering, specifically a woman's head-dress or cap. The Old French word ultimately derived from the Late Latin "cofia" or "coffa", meaning a headdress or cap worn by women. This Latin term possibly came from the Visigothic "kufa", meaning a basket or container, which may have referred to the shape of the headgear. Over time, the word "coiffe" has come to refer to various kinds of head-coverings or hats.
