Where this word comes from
According to Junttila (2024), probably based on a borrowing from a Russian form akin to Russian хри́пать (xrípatʹ, “to grow weak or frail”), Russian хря́пнуть (xrjápnutʹ, “to drop (from one's hands)”) with metathesis хряп- (xrjap-) > herp-. Alternatively possibly a sound-symbolic blend of hellä, hellitä or herkkä, herjetä + kirvota.
