Stulpe, feminine, ‘pot-lid, coat-cuff,’ Modern High German only, from Low German. Compare Dutch stulp, ‘lid of a stewpot,’ and stulpen, ‘to cover with a lid,’ whence Modern High German stülpen, ‘to put on a lid’ (stelpen, ‘to check,’ to which Old Icelandic stólpe, ‘post,’ is allied). Early history obscure.
