Etymology

Doublet of hjupe, descending from Old Norse hjúpa (“a coat”), from Proto-Germanic *heupǭ. The initial n- may have come from the first element in a compound ending in -n, say in steinhjupe, making it a back-formation from steinnype. Compare Swedish nypon. See: Old Norse Nouns 'hjúpa', Swedish Nouns 'nypon'.
