The answer
APRON
What apron means
A protective garment worn over the front of the body, typically tied at the waist, to keep clothes clean while cooking, cleaning, or doing other messy work.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *apron*, altered from Old French *naperon* (a small tablecloth), which came from *nape* (tablecloth). The *n* was reanalyzed as part of the article *un* ("a"), so "un naperon" became "une apron" in English. The ultimate origin of *nape* is uncertain, though it may relate to Latin *mappa* (cloth or napkin).
