développer
French
editEtymology
editInherited from Middle French desveloper, from Old French desveloper, from des- + voloper, veloper, vloper (“to wrap, to wrap up”), from Vulgar Latin base *vlopp-, *wlopp- (“to wrap”), from Proto-Germanic *wrappan-, *wlappan- (“to wrap, roll up, turn, wind”), from Proto-Indo-European *werb- (“to turn, bend”) [1].
Akin to Italian -viluppare, Old Italian alternative form goluppare (“to wrap”); also Middle English wlappen (“to wrap, fold”) (Modern English lap (“to wrap, involve, fold”)), Middle English wrappen (“to wrap”), Middle Dutch lappen (“to wrap up”), dialectal Danish vravle (“to wind, twist”), Middle Low German wrempen (“to wrinkle, scrunch, distort”), Old English wearp (“warp”).
