Word origin
The word 'teardrops' originated from the combination of 'tear' meaning a drop of salty fluid secreted by the eye when irritated, and 'drop' referring to a small round or pear-shaped portion of liquid. The term has been used since the late 19th century to describe both tears shed from emotions and raindrops falling from the sky.
