Word origin
The term 'wallop' is believed to have originated in the late 19th century from British slang. Initially, it was used to describe a heavy blow or punch, often in a humorous or exaggerated context. The word's etymology is somewhat unclear, but it may be connected to the dialectal use of 'wallop' meaning to strike. Over time, it has evolved to encompass any forceful impact, whether in sports, casual conversation, or descriptions of events. Its use has become more widespread in colloquial English, often used to convey a sense of vigor and intensity in various actions or events.
