History and Etymology for ramp

borrowed from French rampe, going back to Middle French, «inclined plane on which the steps of a staircase are built,» noun derivative of ramper «to crawl, creep, move slowly along a surface,» going back to Old French — more at ramp entry 4

in part verbal derivative of ramp entry 4, implying upward or downward movement on a ramp, in part derivative of ramp «artificial stimulation of a situation, market, etc., for financial or political gain,» probably derivative of 19th-century British slang ramp «to rob, swindle,» of uncertain origin

back-formation from ramps, alteration (by intrusive p) of rams «the wild garlic Allium ursinum,» going back to Middle English ramese, rampses, ramzys, going back to Old English hramsa, hramse (masculine or feminine weak noun), going back to Germanic *hramusan- or *hramusjōn- (whence also Old Saxon ramusia «wild garlic,» Middle Low German ramese, remese, regional German Rams) going back to dialectal Indo-European *ḱrom-us-, ablaut variant of a noun seen also in Middle Irish crem, crim «wild garlic,» Welsh craf, cra ( *kremo-, kramo-?), Russian čeremšá, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian srȉjemuš, srȉjemuša, also crȉjemuš, crȉjemuša, Lithuanian kermùšė, kermušė͂, beside šermùkšnis, šermùkšlė «mountain ash» ( *kerm-(o)us-i̯eh₂, *ḱerm-(o)us-i̯eh₂), Greek krómmyon, krémyon (Hesychius) «onion ( Allium cepa) ( *ḱrom-us-o-/*ḱrem-us-o-)

Note: While Balto-Slavic has *ḱerm-, the other languages appear to have *ḱrVm- (or *ḱr̥m-?). The fluctuation between palatovelar and plain velar in Balto-Slavic has been explained as a result of an original *ḱrem-, with loss of palatal quality before r. The word is found only within European Indo-European, and regarded by some as a Wanderwort or borrowing from a substratal language.

Middle English rampen, raumpen «to creep on the ground (of a snake or dragon), to spring up, rear up on the hind legs (of a lion or other large carnivore),» borrowed from Anglo-French ramper «to climb, rear up on the hind legs, creep» (also continental Old French), perhaps going back to a Germanic base *hramp- used in various expressive words, as Middle Dutch ramp «mishap, disaster,» rampe «torticollis in birds,» Middle Low German ramp «spasm, epilepsy, distress, disaster,» Old English gehrumpen «wrinkled, coiled, contracted,» Old High German rimpfan, preterit rampf «to shrivel, shrink»

Note: Though the Germanic origin of ramper is generally accepted (as by Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch, Trésor de la langue française), the semantic connections are tenuous. Hypothetically akin to this verb is a noun *hrampa- meaning «hook, claw,» whence Italian rampa «claw, talon,» alongside Spanish, Catalan rampa «cramp, spasm.» Suggested Indo-European comparisons (Lithuanian kremblỹs «chantarelle,» Greek krámbos «clear, dry [of a sound]») are even more tenuous.
