Etîmolojî

From late Middle High German gūpe. Further origin unknown. Since the word is apparently from Rhine Franconian dialects, identity with Kuppe (“top, knoll”), itself also a Central German form, is possible. The long vowel is problematic, however, though it might be due to conflation with a related word; compare Dutch kuif (“quiff, tuft of hair sticking out”), Old Norse kúfr (“knoll”). Alternatively, possibly from a group of dialectal words for "to look", which may be related to German gucken.
