Etymology
The word 'stopple' has its origins in the late Middle English period, coming from the Old French term 'estoppe', which itself is derived from the Latin word 'stuppa', meaning 'a piece of tow or string'. The original meaning referred to a material used to plug or stop the flow of liquids or gases. Over time, the usage of 'stopple' has broadened to refer to any object that seals the opening of a container, particularly in culinary and scientific contexts. Its significance in the wine industry, where it describes the sealing of bottles to preserve the contents, has helped maintain its relevance in contemporary language.
