Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'fool'): perhaps related to fob².

fob from late 16th century:
To fob someone off meant ‘to cheat, deceive’ in medieval days. Although the origin is uncertain, it may be related to German foppen ‘deceive, cheat, banter’, or to fop (Late Middle English) originally used to mean a fool. In the mid 17th century a fob was a small pocket in the waistband of a pair of breeches, for carrying a watch or other valuables. The use of the word to mean a chain attached to a watch developed from this. Again the origin is uncertain, but there may be a link with the earlier English verb, or there could be a connection with the idea of ‘deceive’, because the pocket was ‘secret’.

Rhymes

atop, bop, chop, clop, cop, crop, dop, drop, Dunlop, estop, flop, glop, hop, intercrop, knop, kop, lop, mop, op, plop, pop, prop, screw-top, shop, slop, sop, stop, strop, swap, tiptop, top, underprop, whop
