Etymology
Borrowed from Old Northern French gobelin (compare Norman goubelin, Walloon gobelin), possibly a blend of Old Dutch *kobeholdo (“goblin”) (compare Dutch kabouter, German Kobold) and Late Latin cobalus (“mountain sprite”), from Ancient Greek κόβαλος (kóbalos, “rogue, knave; goblin”). See: Dutch Nouns '
kabouter', German Nouns '
Kobold', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κόβαλος'.
