Word Origin & History
scallop
"bivalve mollusk," 1401, from O.Fr. escalope "shell," variant of eschalope, probably from a Gmc. source (cf. O.N. skalpr "sheath," M.Du. schelpe "shell"); see scale (n.1). Extended 17c. to objects shaped like scallop shells, especially in design and dress. The verb in the
EXPAND cookery sense, "to bake in a scallop shell-shaped pan," is attested from 1737.
