stroopwafel.

Compound stroop + wafel. The first stroopwafels were baked in Gouda sometime in the first half of the nineteenth century, if not earlier. The word is already mentioned in dictionaries from the mid nineteenth century, so it was likely already present in the spoken language at the time. However, use in print begins only in the second half of that century, with a notable increase in the 1890s. At that time the diminutive forms and the archaic plural stroopwafelen were relatively common. The older synonym spouwwafel is first mentioned by Weiland in 1810 (Nederduitsch Taalkundig Woordenboek).
