Etymology: "Panary" comes from Latin "pānārius," which means "of bread," built on "pānis" (bread). The Latin noun "pānārium" meant "pantry," a storeroom where bread and provisions were kept, and this is where the English adjective's history runs alongside a more familiar English word. "Panary" is a doublet of "pannier," meaning the two came into English by different routes from the same Latin ancestor and ended up with different meanings. The pannier, the basket carried on a beast of burden or the side bag on a bicycle, descends from that same "pānārium" storeroom sense through Old French, where the word eventually came to name the bread basket that a servant or animal carried. The adjective kept closer to the original bread-related idea, so the two words now look unrelated even though their roots are shared.
