Where this word comes from

] Of Germanic origin, from the root *lipjā. One common interpretation is that the Romanized form reflects a folk etymological adaptation to Latin lupus (“wolf”). The Germanic root is linked to verbs describing the river's flow characteristics, related to *sleupan (“to creep, sneak”). Supporting evidence includes Old High German sliofan, glossed as lūbricus (“slippery, smooth”) in Latin. Variants with and without s-mobile may represent parallel developments of the same root.
