bishop's tall hat, late 14c., from Old French mitre, from Latin
mitra "headband, turban," from Greek mitra "headband, turban," earlier a
belt or cloth worn under armor about the waist, from PIE root *mei- "to
tie" (cf. Sanskrit Mitrah, Old Persian Mithra-, god names; Russian mir
"world, peace," Greek mitos "a warp thread"). In Latin, "a kind of
headdress common among Asiatics, the wearing of which by men was
regarded in Rome as a mark of effeminacy" [OED]. But the word was used
in Vulgate to translate Hebrew micnepheth "headdress of a priest."
