Etymology

The word 'hopper' originates from the Middle English term 'hoppen', which means 'to leap' or 'to jump'. This term can be traced further back to the Old English 'hoppian', which is a frequentative form of 'hop', reflecting the action of jumping. Over the centuries, the term has evolved to encompass various types of mechanisms and organisms that exhibit a jumping movement. In industrial contexts, hoppers refer to containers or devices designed to move materials in a way that mimics the action of hopping. This reflects the design's purpose, which is to facilitate the efficient and smooth transfer of materials, paralleling the leap of the original definition. The versatility of the term allows it to apply to both biological subjects, like frogs and kangaroos, and mechanical devices, establishing its broad usage in modern English.
