Etymology

The word 'yip' is thought to have originated in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1930s, in the United States. It is often associated with small dogs, particularly terrier breeds, known for their shrill yaps. The etymology of 'yip' is possibly an imitative word, reflecting the sound itself, akin to other animal sounds in English. Variants of the word may have been influenced by similar words in other languages, which also describe the sound made by small dogs. As language evolved, 'yip' became a part of colloquial English, especially in descriptions of canine behavior, encapsulating the images of little dogs vocalizing in excitement or alarm.
