mumpv.²

Brit.

/mʌmp/, U.S.

/məmp/

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch mompen.

Etymology: Apparently < Dutch mompen to cheat, deceive, conceal (first half of the 17th cent.), of uncertain origin; perhaps related to mompen to mumble (see mump v.¹), though the nature of the relationship is unclear.With sense 2 compare slightly earlier mumper n.

1. transitive. To cheat, to get the better of. Also with of, out of. Now English regional (south-western) (rare).Very common in the second half of the 17th cent. N.E.D. (1908) includes the additional meaning ‘to disappoint’ based on the entry in Phillips's New World of Words (1706); however, the definition given there (‘to bite the Lip like a Rabbet, to disappoint’) more closely resembles senses of mump v.¹
