Word origin

The word 'spigot' originated from the Old French word 'espigot,' which meant a wooden peg or spile used to stop a hole. Over time, it evolved to refer to a device for controlling the flow of liquid. The use of spigots can be traced back to ancient civilizations where similar devices were used to control water flow. Today, spigots are commonly found on various containers, barrels, and pipes for easy dispensing of liquids.
