Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: culp

In summary

From Middle English culp, culpe, of uncertain origin; possibly from Old English *colba, *colfa, from Proto-West Germanic *kolbō (“bulb, cob”), from Proto-Germanic *kulbaz (“round object, club”). Compare Middle High German kolbe (“clublike plant”), Old Norse kolfr (“bulb of a plant”).
