The term "pied" in the name "pied piper" refers to the character's multicolored clothing, specifically a coat made of different colored patches or "pied" fabric. This term dates back to the 16th century, derived from the Middle French word "pie," meaning magpie, known for its black and white plumage. The pied piper's distinctive attire is a key element of the character's visual representation in various artistic interpretations of the famous folktale.
