Pronounced as (IPA)

/viˈlup.po/

Etymology

Uncertain. Most sources originate it from Late Latin faluppa (“chaff, waste”) (from which also the doublet faloppa), influenced from/crossed with a derivate of Latin volvere.
Other sources theorizes a sole derivation from volvere.
Lastly, it may be related to/based on Old French (en)velopper, which either derives from one of the previously mentioned roots or, through an unattested Vulgar Latin term, from Germanic (compare with the (unsourced) theories displayed for the english terms envelop, develop).
