Etymology
The word 'stoop' originates from Middle English 'stoep', which in turn comes from Old Dutch 'stoep'. It originally referred to a small platform or doorstep at the entrance of a building. Over time, the meaning expanded to include both the steps leading up to a house and the action of bending down. The word has been used in English since the 16th century.
