Meaning & usage
hop, hops (plant)
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle French houblon, houbelon (15th c.), from a confluence of two words: * Middle French hoppe, houppe (“hopped beer”, 14th c.), from Middle Dutch hoppe (“hops”), from Old Dutch *hoppo, from Frankish *hoppō (“hops”), of uncertain further origin. See English hop for more. * Old French homlon (“hops”, 11th c.), from Proto-West Germanic *humilō (“hops”), also of uncertain origin, but assumed to be of Finnic/Uralic origin, as the Finno-Ugric tribes were the first to use hops for beer. Cognate with Old English hymele, Middle Low German hōmel, and probably Proto-Slavic *xъmeľь.
