From archaic ólpa(“wide coat with cap”), of uncertain origin, though probably from a Proto-Germanic*wulpǭ(“woven garment”), from a Proto-Indo-European*welp-(“to bend, wrap around”), which appears to be a p-extension of *welH-(“to roll”), thus denoting a "rolled-up garment". See also Middle Englishwlappen(“to wrap”), Sami wuölppo(“woman's garment”), the latter which appears to be borrowed from North Germanic.[1]
