Word origin
The word 'drops' originated from the Old English word 'dropa' which meant a small particle of liquid. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include various contexts such as eye drops, rain drops, and temperature drops. The usage of 'drops' can be traced back to ancient times when people observed the phenomenon of water falling from the sky as rain. Today, 'drops' is commonly used in everyday language to describe the act of something decreasing or falling, whether it be liquid, temperature, or other forms of matter.
