Etymology

Why bring up what the what the word does not originate from? Very few users of Wikipedia would know the Icelandic word hafurtask (or haprtask; the text and its source are using different words), and of those very few would know the word haberdasher, much less make a connection with the English word. I have removed that text.

The following sentence is also removed due to original research: If that had been the case, a haberdasher (in its hypothetical Scandinavian meaning) would be very close to a mercier (French).

Furthermore the Anglo-French (not Anglo-Norman) hapertas is of unknown origin, which is added. Creuzbourg (talk) 09:19, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
