Where this word comes from
From Old Galician-Portuguese colbe, golbe, from Late Latin colpus, from Latin colaphus (“blow; cuff”), from Ancient Greek κόλαφος (kólaphos, “blow; slap”). Some sources believe it to have been introduced through a Gallo-Romance intermediate such as Old Occitan colp, although this is uncertain. It may alternatively be a derivative of an Old Portuguese verb golpar, golbar. Compare Spanish golpe.
