Origins
Onomatopoeic. Manuscript spellings of the stem include stlop-, stolp-, stloph-, stopl-, stlopl-, stop-, strop-, stropp-, troph-, sclopp-, sclop-, schlopp-, scolpp-, scloppl-, scoph-. Since original /tl/ in Latin eventually passed regularly to /kl/ (as seen in vetulus > veclus), the manuscript forms and descendants are most simply explained by supposing the word originally started with /stl/, which evolved to /skl/ in all inherited Romance descendants, with an additional metathesis in Italian scoppio.
