Meaning & History
A metonymic name for someone who bred or kept horses, from Middle High German klepper "knight’s horse", possibly derived from kleppen "to strike rapidly, to ring sharply" in reference to bells on their harness. In modern German, it has become a derogatory term meaning "nag", or an old, useless horse.
