Origin

Early 16th century: from Old French galop (noun), galoper, variants of Old Northern French walop, waloper (see wallop).

wallop from Middle English:
The original meaning of wallop was ‘to gallop ’, and the Old French sources of gallop (early 16th century) and wallop, galoper and waloper, are related. It seems that there is something gratifying about the way wallop sounds that makes people use it in lively ways. The next sense to develop was ‘to boil violently’, and then ‘to move in a heavy or clumsy way’, and ‘to flop about, dangle, flap’. The modern sense, ‘to hit very hard’, appeared in the early 19th century. See also codswallop
