IPA: /ˌʌmbɪˈlæp/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˌʌmbəˈlæp/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-umbelap.wav [Southern-England] Forms: umbelaps [present, singular, third-person], umbelapping [participle, present], umbelapped [participle, past], umbelapped [past]
Rhymes: -æp Etymology: PIE word *h₂m̥bʰi From Middle English umbelappen, umbelappe (“to clothe or wrap; to enclose, envelop; to beset or encircle (an enemy); to besiege; to interlace, overlap”) [and other forms], either from: * umb-, umbe- (prefix meaning ‘around, encircling, surrounding; covering, enveloping, wrapping’) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi (“about, around, on either side of”)) + lappen (“to wrap; to place so as to enclose or enfold; to encase; to envelop; to clothe; to put on armour; to ensnare, snare”); or * um- (prefix meaning ‘around, encircling, surrounding; covering, enveloping, wrapping’) + bilappen (“to envelop; to clothe; to surround; to blend, mix”) (from bi- (completive, intensifying, or figurative prefix) + lappen (see above)). Lappen is derived from lap, lappe (“loose part of a garment; folded or extended skirt, or loose sleeve, used to hold things; small piece of cloth or mail detached from a garment or coat of mail; a part, portion, share; a person’s lap; (also figuratively) a person’s bosom or breast; (anatomy) a loose part of the body (such as an earlobe or a lobe of the liver); female genitalia; cavity or sinus in the body; (in place names) piece of land at the edge of an estate or parish”) (from Old English læppa (“skirt; (anatomy) lobe”), from Proto-Germanic *lappô (“cloth; rag”); further etymology uncertain, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“to hang down loosely (?)”)) + -en (suffix forming the infinitive of verbs). The English word is analysable as umbe- + lap (“to enfold, envelop; to enwrap, wrap around”) or um- + belap (“to lap or wrap around, envelop, surround”).
