Word origin

The word 'dupe' originated in the early 18th century from the French word 'duppe', meaning 'a duplicate'. It initially referred to a duplicate or copy of something. Over time, the word evolved to also include the concept of deception or trickery, likely due to the association of duplicates with deceitful practices.
