Nguồn gốc từ

Middle English sippen, of uncertain origin. Compare with sippen. Possibly from a variant of suppen (see sup) or perhaps from Old English sipian, sypian (to take in moisture, soak, macerate), from Proto-Germanic *sipōną (to drip, trickle), from Proto-Indo-European *seyb- (to pour out, trickle, leak out). Compare also supfen, from.
