Gallop

English

Etymology

Middle English galopen (“‘to gallop’”) from Old French galoper, of Template:Gem[[Category:Template:Gem derivations|Gallop]] origin, from Template:Frk[[Category:Template:Frk derivations|Gallop]] *wala hlaupan (“‘to run well’”) from *wala (“‘well’”) + *hlaupan (“‘to run’”) from Proto-Germanic *hlaupanan (“‘to run, leap, spring’”) from Proto-Indo-European *klaup-, klaub- (“‘to spring, stumble’”). Possibly also derived from a deverbal of Template:Frk walhlaup (“‘battle run’”) from *wal (“‘battlefield’”) from Proto-Germanic *dead, victim, slain from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (“‘death in battle, killed in battle’”) + *hlaup (“‘course, track’”) from *hlaupan (“‘to run’”). More at well, leap, valkyrie. See also wallop.
