Word Origin & History

Old English panne,earlier ponne (Mercian)"pan," from West Germanic *panna "pan" (cf. Old Norse panna,Old Frisian panne,Middle Dutch panne,Dutch pan,Old Low German panna,Old High German phanna,German pfanne),probably an early borrowing (4c. or 5c.)from Vulgar Latin *patna,from Latin patina "shallow pan,dish,stewpan," from Greek patane "plate,dish," from PIE *pet-ano-,from root *pete- "to spread" (see pace (n.)). Irish panna probably is from English,and Lithuanian pana is from German.

Used of pan-shaped parts of mechanical apparatus from c.1590;hence flash in the pan,a figurative use from early firearms,where a pan held the priming (and the gunpowder might "flash," but no shot ensue). To go out of the (frying)pan into the fire is first found in Spenser (1596).
