collopn.¹

Brit.

/ˈkɒləp/, U.S.

/ˈkɑləp/

Forms: Middle English colope, Middle English colhoppe, Middle English–1500s coloppe, Middle English–1500s colloppe, , ( Middle English colepe, Middle English colype ()), Middle English–1500s colop, 1500s colup, 1500s collup, 1500s–1600s collap, 1500s–1600s collopp, 1500s–1600s collope, Middle English– collop.

Etymology: Derivation obscure. Ihre has Swedish kollops ‘edulii genus, confectum ex carnis fragmentis, tudite lignea probe contusis et maceratis’; modern Swedish kalops slices of beef stewed; Grimm has German klops a dish made of beaten (geklopftem) meat, a steak. These seem to be the same word, but the latter is commonly associated with German klopfen to beat. Connection with the Romanic colpo, Old French colp, French coup, is not very likely phonetically. Minsheu's notion, that the first part is col- coal, suits the early sense, and Latin carbonella.
