   wallop

   /ˈwɒləp/

   verb

   • 1. strike or hit very hard: "they walloped the back of his head with a stick"
   • ▪ heavily defeat (an opponent): "we were walloped by Milan"

   Word Origin Middle English (as a noun denoting a horse's gallop): from Old Northern French walop (noun), waloper (verb), perhaps from a Germanic phrase meaning ‘run well’, from the bases of well1 and leap. Compare with gallop. From ‘gallop’ the senses ‘bubbling noise of a boiling liquid’ and then ‘sound of a clumsy movement’ arose, leading to the current senses.
