Etymology

Came into English from Middle English beclippen, itself from Old English beclyppan (“to clip, clasp, embrace, enfold”), which traces back to Proto-Germanic *bi- (“be-”) + *klumpijaną (“to hold, clench”) and further to Proto-Indo-European *glemb-, *glembʰ- (“to hold, clench”); equivalent to be- + clip. Compare also Middle English umbeclippen (“to embrace”). See also umbeclip.
