Origin of the word gallop

The word "gallop" originated from a combination of Old French words that described the sound and motion of a horse's hooves. "Galaun" or "galoun" referred to the sound of the horse's feet striking the ground, while "lo Ü" or "loup" meant a wolf, which the medieval French associated with the wild and rapid motion of a horse in full stride. These words were later combined to form the Old French word "galaonper" or "galopper", which meant to run or to travel rapidly, especially on horseback. The modern English word "gallop" is said to have evolved from this Old French term during the Middle Ages.
