The Oxford English Dictionary's earliest use of the word is in 1589. It's almost certainly related to twmpath, the Welsh work for hillock. That appeared in a Welsh-English dictionaries from at least 1802. In the 1950s in The Rhondda , in South Wales, tump was in common use as a hillock or mound, or to make a mound "tump the earth". | |
