Collop1 Forms: 4–5 colope, colhoppe, 4–6 coloppe, colloppe, (5 colepe, colype), 5–6 colop, 6 colup, collup, 6–7 collap, collopp, 7 collope, 5– collop. [Derivation obscure. Ihre has Sw. kollops ‘edulii genus, confectum ex carnis fragmentis, tudite lignea probe contusis et maceratis’; mod.Sw. kalops slices of beef stewed; Grimm has Ger. klops a dish made of beaten (geklopftem) meat, a steak. These seem to be the same word, but the latter is commonly associated with Ger. klopfen to beat.
