History

Etymology

A meaningless syllable.

* As a German surname, Americanized from Schupp. * Also an Americanized spelling of Dutch and North German Schoop, from Middle Dutch schoepe and Middle Low German schōpe (“ladle”) (for which see modern Schöpflöffel).

From Middle English schoupe, from Old Norse *hjúpa (“rosehip”), from Proto-Germanic *heupǭ (“haw, hawthorn, thornbush, rosehip”). Cognate with Faroese hjúpa (“rosehip”), Old English hēope (“hip, rosehip”). Doublet of hip.

A deliberate back-formation from sheep on the pattern of nouns which underwent Germanic i-mutation, such as feet from foot, geese from goose, and teeth from tooth; compare the similarly humorously formed meese from moose.

Alteration of shop, a clipping of photoshop (“digitally altered image”).
