Etymology

The word 'pop' has origins in Middle English, coming from the word 'popen', which is an onomatopoeic term imitating the sound it describes. It gives the sense of a sudden and sharp sound. The term evolved in its usage, and the 'popped' form became prominent in the 19th century, especially in the context of something bursting or making a sound. Initially used to describe simple sounds associated with bursting objects, like balloons or corks, it expanded into various contexts in modern English, including casual and idiomatic expressions. This evolution reflects the dynamic nature of language, adapting to cultural changes and new usages over time.
