Analyzed or reported by:

A rather low-frequency eggcorn.

Both, _pepper_ and _paprika_ have evolved from Lat. _piper_; the former via West Germanic and Old English, the second via Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian. This is therefore a reinterpretation that goes back to the roots of the name of the spice.
