Etymology
The word 'pipe' originated from the Latin word 'pipare', which means to chirp or peep. The term was first used in the 13th century to refer to a musical wind instrument. Over time, it evolved to also describe a tube used for conveying fluids. Pipes have played a crucial role in human civilization, from water distribution systems to tobacco smoking rituals.
