▪ II. frap, v.|fræp|
[a. OF. fraper (mod.F. frapper) = Pr. frapar, It. frappare to strike; of obscure origin, but perh. f. the Teut. root flap-: see flap.
It has been conjectured that the ONorthumb. (ᵹe)fræpᵹiᵹa meant ‘to strike’; it renders (re)verebuntur (which the glossator may have mistaken for verberantur!) and accusarent. The two ostensible senses are so irreconcilable that the supposition of a blunder seems justifiable; possibly the ONorthumb. may preserve the Teut. root of the Rom. word.]
