ETYMOLOGY
from Latin liripipium, leropipium, (explained in glosses as ‘tippet of a hood’, ‘cord’, ‘shoe-lace’, and ‘inner sole-leather of shoes’);
no plausible etymology has been found; connection of the latter part with French pipe (pipe (n.)) is not unlikely;
the form loripipium, which suggests Latin lorum strap, is likely an etymologizing corruption
EXAMPLE (for n. 3)
“… I say againe, my horses:
Are ye so hot? have ye your private pilgrimages?
Must ye be Jumping-Jone? Ile wander with ye:
Ile jump ye, and Ile joggle ye: my horses;
And keep me this young Lirry-poope within dores,
I will discover, dame. …”
