From 中期英語 dewlappe. The first element may be dew (and if not, seems to have been altered by folk etymology to resemble it); the second element is lap (“loose fabric”), 古期英語 læppa (“a loose hanging piece”); compare jellop and jowlop (from jowl + lap), and dewclaw. Compare old Norwegian and Danish doglæp (the modern Danish word for "dew" is dug, but compare Old Norse dǫgg (“dew”) and Norwegian dogg). 古期英語 instead terms such skin the frǣt-læppa (whence 中期英語 fresh-lappe).
dewlap (plural dewlaps)
