Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English wǣpman, wēpman, from earlier wǣpnmann, wǣpnedmann; by surface analysis, wepen (“weapon, penis”) + man (“man”).
2. The Southwest Midland form weopmon shows a development of /ɛ/ into /œ/ under the influence of the preceding /w/ and the following labial (like hweolp, tweolf, weob). See: Old English Nouns 'wǣpman', Old English Nouns 'wǣpman'.
