Etymology

Probably from Old Norse klǫpp. Attested by Christen Jensøn (1646), Erik Pontoppidan (1749), Søren Richart Hagerup (1770-s) and Jacob Nicolai Wilse (1780), in all cases written with a single p because of Danish spelling rules. Also attested in Danish text of Gerhard Schøning in his description of Norwegian countryside (1774). Probably not etymologically related to English clapper bridge.
