Etymology
The verb 'sop' originates from Middle English 'soppen', which means to soak up or moisten, derived from the Old English 'sopfian'. This term has Germanic roots, possibly related to the Dutch word 'soppen', meaning to absorb or soak. Over the years, 'sop' has evolved in its usage, often being associated with the act of dipping bread into liquid to soak up flavors, which is a common practice in various culinary traditions. The past tense 'sopped' reflects this action completed in the past, illustrating not only a physical process but also a cultural one, where food and its consumption play a central role.
