weep

weep: [OE] Weep goes back to prehistoric Germanic *wōpjan, which probably originated in imitation of the sound of wailing or lamentation. Most of its Germanic relatives have long since died out, but Icelandic still has ?pa ‘cry out, scream’.

Of water naturally forming on stones, walls, etc., from c. 1400. Related: Wept; weeping; weeper.
