Para buscalo non fixemos mais que botar ó ollo ó veciño da jurisdizon que nos pareceu mais honrado, mais home de ben, mais cristiano, é que millor coidaba da sua familia é da sua casa, sin ser empexoso, nin empeitizo, nin sobervio, nin cobizoso, nin zizañeiro- we already have a verygood judge. For finding him we did nothing but search for the neighbor that seemed to us as the most honest, the most upstanding, the most Christian, and that tooks the most care of his family and house; who is neither envious, nor haughty, nor arrogant, nor greedy, nor an instigator.

Ultimately fromLatinvappa(“flat wine, worthless person”), probably through the intermediate of dialectal Old French, namelyPicardvape,wape,gape(“dull, insipide (of food); weakened (of people); deranged (of the stomach)”), which has possibly, but not necessarily received influence fromProto-Germanic*hwapjaną(“to breathe, air out, let go to waste, become sour”), whereas modernFrenchgouape is a reloan from Spanish.[1] At one point the word meant “rascal, ruffian” and evolved in meaning over time.[2]
