Etymology

The term 'popup' originated in the late 1990s with the rise of internet advertising. It refers to a window that 'pops up' on top of a webpage to display content such as ads or alerts. The term has since been adopted in other contexts, such as baseball and music, to describe things that quickly appear and disappear. The use of popups has evolved over the years, with many users finding them intrusive and annoying.
