Etymology

The word 'tips' originated in the early 18th century, derived from the Dutch word 'tippen' meaning 'to tap or touch lightly'. Initially, it referred to a small present of money given to someone for their services. Over time, the meaning expanded to include advice or recommendations for better performance. The use of 'tips' in the context of advice became more prevalent in the 20th century with the rise of self-help and productivity culture.
