Etymology 2
From Proto-West Germanic *kipp, from Proto-Germanic *kippaz, *kipaz (“log, beam, fetter, foot-block”), of uncertain origin. Often aligned with Latin cippus, cīpus (“post, stake, pointed column made of wood or stone”), though borrowing from the Latin is inconclusive. The Germanic and Latin terms may have been independent borrowings from a third unknown source language.
Akin to Old Saxon kipp, kip (“stick, post”), Old Dutch kip (“fetter”), Old High German kipf (“axle, stave”), Old Norse keppr (“cudgel, club”).
