dewlapn.

Brit.

/ˈdjuːlap/, U.S.

/ˈd(j)uˌlæp/

Forms: Also 1500s dew lop, ( dew-clap).

Etymology: The second element lap n.¹ is Old English læppa, pendulous piece, skirt, lappet, lobe; the first is uncertain: the equivalent Danish doglæb, Norwegian doglæp, Swedish dröglapp, in which the first element is not the word for ‘dew’, suggest that the original form has been altered under the influence of popular etymology. The English form may be explained as the ‘lap’ or pendulous piece which touches the dewy surface; but that is not likely to have been the original notion.

a. The fold of loose skin which hangs from the throat of cattle.
