Nguồn gốc từ

Possibly a blob gob, or a globule. An element of sound symbolism is clearly involved: compare such phonetically and semantically similar words as glop, gop, lob, blob, lump, clump and clod. (Still, globe, clump and clod may be related via the Proto-Indo-European - root *gel-; compare clew.)
