Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps from earlier *arΜ†epa, from *ad-Ε™ep-a-, from Proto-Italic *ad-leip-ā, itself perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *hβ‚‚Γ©d + *leyp-. Alternatively, the term may derive from Proto-Italic *adΔ“pā-. Perhaps related to Latin adeps. De Vaan mentions the possibility of borrowing from Ancient Greek ἄλΡιφᾰρ (Γ‘leiphΔƒr); this is evidenced by the forms in -r.
