Word origin
The verb 'scoop' originated in the late 14th century from the Old French word 'escope', meaning a ladle or spoon. The noun form, referring to a news story, emerged in the 1880s in American English, likening the act of getting a story first to scooping up a portion of something before others can. Over time, 'scooping' has become a common term in both journalism and everyday language.
