Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Though MED groups the "ask" and "wear on the head" senses together, they seem etymologically distinct.

STEDT doesn't give an etymology for the "ask" sense (pan "ask leave, beg, petition"), and it is unclear if the "wear on the head" sense is mentioned (pan "adorn ( with flowers, etc. )").

Luce's comparison of the "ask" sense to Old Chinese 問 (OC *mɯns, “to ask”)[1] is now outdated, as is his comparison of an "adorn, flower" sense (which could be the predecessor of the "wear on the head" sense) to 文 (OC *mɯn, “writing, pattern”).[2] Perhaps the "wear" sense is related to ပန်း (pan:, “flower”), via semantic shift "flower" > "adorn" > "adorn on head".”
