Origin:
The origin of "wallop" is uncertain, but it is thought to have originated from the Old Norse word "valpla," which referred to the bubbling or gurgling of water. This sense of bubbling or frothing was extended to mean a heavy blow or impact, as these could cause things to "bubble up" or bounce.
Over time, the word "wallop" came to be used more generally for any kind of powerful blow or strike. It is often used to describe a sudden or overwhelming impact, such as the shock waves from an explosion or the impact of a car accident.
"Wallop" can also be used figuratively to describe a sudden or forceful impact, such as a strong argument, a shock, or a setback.
