Phrasal Verbs
Etymology
1. 1375, "to gallop," possibly from O.N.Fr.
*waloper (13c.), probably from Frankish
*walalaupan "to run well" (cf. O.H.G.
wela "well" and Old Low Franconian
loupon "to run, leap"). The verb meaning "to thrash" (1820) and the noun meaning "heavy blow" (1823) may be separate developments, of imitative origin.
2. From Middle English wallopen (“gallop”), from Anglo-Norman [Term?], from Old Northern French walop (“gallop”, noun) and waloper (“to gallop”, verb) (compare Old French galoper, whence modern French galoper), from Frankish *wala hlaupan (“to run well”) from *wala (“well”) + *hlaupan (“to run”), from Proto-Germanic *hlaupaną (“to run, leap, spring”), from Proto-Indo-European *klaub- (“to spring, stumble”). Possibly also derived from a deverbal of Frankish *walhlaup (“battle run”) from *wal (“battlefield”) from Proto-Germanic [Term?] (“dead, victim, slain”) from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (“death in battle, killed in battle”) + *hlaup (“course, track”) from *hlaupan (“to run”). Compare the doublet gallop. See: Old French '
galoper', French '
galoper', Proto-Germanic '
*hlaupaną'.
