An allusion to the newspaper cartoon strip Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.

From Middle English pippe, from Middle Dutch pip, from post-classical Latin pipita, from Latin pītuīta (“mucus, phlegm, head cold”). Doublet of pituita.

Apparently representing a shortened form of pippin, from Middle English pipin, from Old French pepin (“a seed”) (French pépin).

Origin uncertain; perhaps related to Etymology 2, above.

Imitative.

Abbreviation of percentage in point.
