Per Vasmer, of onomatopoeic origin. The secondary meaning “gulping, devouring” is comparable with Latvianlepêt(“to eat vigorously”), Lithuanianlapénti(“to absorb”), Proto-Germanic*lapōną(“to lap, to slurp”), themselves onomatopoeic. Likely further akin to Ancient Greekλᾰ́πτω(láptō, “to gulp, drink greedily”)
