Common Misspellings for GALLOPS
Etymology of GALLOPS
The word "gallops" comes from the Old French verb "galoper", which in turn derives from the Latin word "gallōpare" (also "gallupare"). The Latin term was a combination of "gallus" meaning "rooster" and "pār" meaning "equal". Therefore, the original sense of "gallops" was to move or run side by side with equal steps, similar to how roosters move. Over time, the word specifically referred to the fast, springing gait of horses.
