palpv.1

Brit. /palp/, U.S. /pælp/
Forms: 1500s–1600s palpe, 1600s–1700s 1900s– palp.
Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French palper; Latin palpāre.
Etymology: < (i) Middle French, French palper to touch, feel (1488; rare between the beginning of the 17th cent. and the mid 18th cent.), to flatter (1611 in Cotgrave), or its etymon (ii) classical Latin palpāre to touch softly, pat, caress, coax, flatter < palpus the soft palm of the hand, of uncertain origin (see note). Compare Italian palpare (a1276), Old Occitan palpar (12th cent.). Compare earlier palpation n.It has been suggested that classical Latin palpus is < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek ψηλαϕᾶν to feel, touch, stroke (see pselaphognath n. and adj.), ψάλλειν to pluck, twang (see psalm n.), but it is more likely that these are expressive formations within Greek.
