. . . . "Hanaper, properly a case or basket to contain a \"hanap\" (O. Eng. kneels: cf. Dutch nap), a drinking vessel, a goblet with a foot or stem; the term which is still used by antiquaries for medieval stemmed cups. The famous Royal Gold Cup in the British Museum is called a \"hanap\" in the inventory of Charles VI of France of 1391. The word \"hanaper\" (Med. Lat. hanaperium) was used particularly in the English chancery of a wicker basket in which were kept writs and other documents. From \"hanaper\" is derived the modern \"hamper,\" a wicker or rush basket used for carrying game, fish, wine, etc. The verb \" to hamper,\" to entangle, obstruct, hinder, especially used of disturbing the mechanism of a lock or other fastening so as to prevent its proper working, is of doubtful origin. It is probably connected with a root seen in the Icel. hemja, to restrain, and Ger. hemmen, to clog. For another usage, see Alienation Office."@en . . . . . . .
