单词 quop
释义

quopv.

Brit. /kwɒp/, U.S. /kwɑp/, Irish English /kwɑp/
Forms:

α. Middle English quape, Middle English qwape, Middle English qwappe, Middle English–1500s quappe, 1600s (1700s English regional (Gloucestershire)) (1800s Welsh English) quapp, 1800s quap.

β. 1600s 1800s– quop, 1800s– qwop (English regional (Worcestershire)).

See also quob v.
Origin: An imitative or expressive formation.
Etymology: Ultimately imitative. Compare (especially with sense 1) German regional (Low German) quappen , expressing the noise made by a soft, flabby, fat body when falling down, quappig (of people) very corpulent and fleshy, and (with frequentative suffix: see -le suffix 3) Middle Dutch quabbelen to quiver, wobble (originally used of fatty body parts of animals; Dutch kwabbelen ), German regional (East Central, southern) quappeln , quabbeln to quiver. With sense 1 compare later quob v. Perhaps compare also quab n.1, quab n.2Both later α. forms (after c1600) and β. forms show rounding of the vowel under the influence of the preceding labial, although in the case of the α. forms this is not reflected in the spelling. With sense 2 compare the semantically similar wap v.1 5, which is perhaps influenced by quop v.
Now English regional and Irish English.
