Where this word comes from

An ideophonic expression with many variants, such as hilipruiskis, hilurim(p)sis, hilurimpsus, hirinliriä. Probably predates, at least in some form, its attestation in written sources, which tend to be recent (from the late 20th century at the earliest). Perhaps inspired by hilistä (and/or hile, hilu) and rimpuilla (in the sense “to romp, frolic”).
