Etymology

The word 'sup' originates from the Old English 'sลซpan', meaning 'to sip' or 'to sup'. It has Germanic roots, with similar words found in several languages, including the Old High German 'sลซfan', meaning 'to drink', and the Dutch 'soepen', which translates to 'soup'. The evolution of 'sup' reflects the changing customs around dining and meals through the ages. By the 14th century, 'sup' became widely used to denote having a meal, often in the evening, which aligns with traditional practices of gathering for supper. Over time, the form 'supped' emerged as a past participle but has since become somewhat archaic in everyday use, often found only in literature or historical texts.
