Etymology
The word 'cheep' originated in the late 14th century from the Old English 'ciepan', meaning 'to call, cry out'. Over time, it evolved to describe the sound made by young birds or small animals. The informal adjective form of 'cheep' to describe something of low quality or value emerged in the 19th century.
