Etymology

Apparently from a quasi-Indo-European *h₁royp-nó-s (‘band, strip, strap’), of uncertain origin. Kroonen considers the term limited to Germanic, but others have further derived it from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reyp- (‘to peel off, rip, tear; strip, strap’), though if so, the irregular sound shift from PIE *-p- > PGm *-p- rather than PGm *-f- remains to be explained.
