Etymology

The word 'mop' originates from the late 15th century, derived from the word 'moppe,' which in Middle English referred to a cloth or rag used for cleaning. Its etymology can be traced back to the Old English 'moppian,' which meant to wipe or rub. The tool commonly referred to today as a mop was developed over time and became widely used in households for cleaning floors efficiently. By the 19th century, the modern design of mops, including the use of cotton strands or other absorbent materials attached to a stick, became standardized.
