Etymology
In summary
From Middle Low German proppen, prop, borrowed into East Central German and thence into the standard language (early 18th century). The modern form is a secondary adaptation to the Upper German consonantism, based formally on the verb pfropfen (“to engraft”, eventually from Latin propago), which in Low and Central German had the form proppen, thus identical to the unrelated noun. Cognate with Dutch prop.
