Meaning & usage
canvas shoe, trainer, sneaker
synonym of schoen (“shoe”)
Where this word comes from
Possibly a clipping of patapedo (“canvas shoe”), of unclear origin; since the term is first attested in the 1930s, with the specific meaning 'canvas shoe', proposed derivations via Sranan Tongo from Portuguese sapato (“(leather) shoe”), Portuguese pata (“paw, foot”), or Yoruba bàta (“(leather) shoe”) seem unlikely. Cognate of Sranan Tongo pata (“canvas shoe”).
