thorpn.

Brit.

/θɔːp/, U.S.

/θɔrp/

Forms: α. Old English ðrop ( þrep), Old English–Middle English þrop, (Middle English throop-e, þroup), Middle English, 1800s regional throp (Middle English thrope). β. Old English–Middle English þorp, Middle English– thorpe, Middle English, 1600s– thorp.

Etymology: Old English and Middle English þrop and þorp hamlet, village, farm, or estate; Comman Germanic = Old Frisian thorp , therp village, modern Frisian terp village, village-mound (see terp n.¹); Old Saxon thorp (Middle Low German, Low German, Middle Dutch, Dutch dorp, Low German and East Frisian dörp); Old High German (Middle High German, German) dorf village (locally ‘gathering of people, meeting’); Old Norse þorp village, hamlet, farmstead (Norwegian torp, Swedish torp cottage, little farm, Danish torp farmstead, hamlet, borough), Gothic þaurp estate, land, field < Old Germanic *þorpo^m. Ulterior etymology doubtful; original sense and its development in the Germanic languages not clear. Old Norse has (apparently thence derived) þyrpast to crowd, throng, þyrping crowd; and þorp is by many referred to same root as Latin turba, Greek τύρβη crowd, tumult. Others compare Latin tribus tribe, and Old Celtic *treb subdivision of a people, Welsh tref town. For other suggested cognates, compare Kluge, Franck, Doornkaat-Koolman.

archaic and Historical.

A hamlet, village, or small town; in Middle English esp. an agricultural village: see quots.Not a frequent word in Old English, being chiefly found in Glosses and Vocabularies, in form þrop, which was also the prevailing form in Middle English down to 1400. þorp appears once in late Old English and in the north in 14th cent., and may really be due to Norse influence. In various forms as Thorpe, Throop, Thrupp, the word occurs as a place-name, and it is a frequent second element in these in the forms -thorpe, -thrup, -trup, chiefly in the Danelaw district. It appears to have been a ‘common noun’ to Langland and Chaucer; but in Caxton to be a literalism of translation. As a separate word it has been used occasionally from 1600, but is apparently only literary or archaic, rarely dialectal: see Eng. Dial. Dict.
