Etymology

First attested 1698 in Bavaria as Tolbatz, from Hungarian talpas (“wide-footed; infantryman”), so called because of their footwear consisting of soles attached by strings. Influenced by toll (“crazy”), patschen (“to whoosh, to hit with a splashing sound”), and dalpen, talpen (“to walk clumsily; to grab clumsily”), also Dalpe, Talpe, Dalpsche, Talpsche, Patsche, designations for a broad hand. See: Hungarian Nouns 'talpas'.
