Origin Middle English (as a noun denoting a horse's gallop): from Old Northern French walop (noun), waloper (verb), perhaps from a Germanic phrase meaning 'run well', from the bases of well1 and leap. Compare with gallop. From 'gallop' the senses 'bubbling noise of a boiling liquid' and then 'sound of a clumsy movement' arose, leading to the current senses. The original meaning of wallop was ‘to gallop ’, and the Old French sources of gallop (early 16th century) and wallop, galoper and waloper, are related. It seems that there is something gratifying about the way wallop sounds that makes people use it in lively ways. The next sense to develop was ‘to boil violently’, and then ‘to move in a heavy or clumsy way’, and ‘to flop about, dangle, flap’. The modern sense, ‘to hit very hard’, appeared in the early 19th century. See also codswallop
