Etymology
1. Inherited from Old English pipor, piper, from West Germanic, from Latin piper, from Ancient Greek πέπερι (péperi), from Indo-Aryan.
2. Forms with /ɛ/ probably represent unattested Old English *peopor, while the absence of open-syllable lengthening is due to influence from the Old English inflected forms pipore, pipores and the compounds peper corn, peperquerne, where it would be inhibited by trisyllabic shortening.
