Etymology of LARRUP

The word "larrup" originated in the 18th-century English dialect, primarily in Northern England. It is believed to have derived from the now obsolete term "larrap", meaning "to beat" or "to flog". The origin of "larrap" is uncertain, but it is thought to have been influenced by various regional dialects, possibly related to the Old Norse word "larraka", which means "to thrash" or "to lash". "Larrup" eventually emerged as a variation of "larrap", still carrying the meaning of a vigorous beating or hitting.
