viluppo

Italian

Alternative forms

  • goluppo (Tuscan)

Etymology

Uncertain. Most sources originate it from Late Latin faluppa (“chaff, waste”) (from which also the doublet faloppa), influenced from/crossed with a derivate of Latin volvere.[1][2][3]

Other sources theorizes a sole derivation from volvere.[4][5][6]

Lastly, it may be related to/based on Old French (en)velopper,[7] which either derives from one of the previously mentioned roots[8] or, through an unattested Vulgar Latin term, from Germanic (compare with the (unsourced) theories displayed for the english terms envelop, develop).
