Etymology of SCOLLOP

The word "scollop" has an interesting etymology. It comes from Middle English "scalop" or "scaloppe", which originated from Old French "escalope". "Escalope" itself derived from Late Latin "escaloppa", meaning "shell". This Latin word is believed to have been borrowed from a Germanic source, possibly Old High German "scalpa", meaning "shell". The Germanic root may also be related to Old Norse "skalpr", meaning "sheath" or "scalpel". Over time, the meaning of "scalop" shifted from "shell" to refer specifically to the edible mollusk or bivalve and eventually came to denote a dish prepared with scallops.
