Etymology
1. c.1390, probably of Celtic origin (cf. Gael.
lub "bend," Ir.
lubiam), influenced by O.N.
hlaup "a leap, run." In ref. to magnetic recording tape or film, first recorded 1931. Computer programming sense first attested 1947. The verb meaning "to form a loop" is first recorded 1856.
Looped "drunk" is from 1934;
loopy "crazy" is from 1925. To
loop the loop (1902) originally was a stunt of bicycle-riding.
2. From Middle English loupe (“noose, loop”), earlier lowp-knot (“loop-knot”), of North Germanic origin, from Old Norse hlaup (“a run”), used in the sense of a "running knot", from hlaupa (“to leap”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *hlaupaną (“to leap, run”). Compare Swedish löp-knut (“loop-knot”), Danish løb-knude (“a running knot”), Danish løb (“a course”). More at leap. The verb is derived from the noun. See: Proto-Germanic '
*hlaupaną', Danish '
løbknude'.
