Word Origin & History

sop 
O.E. sopp- "bread soaked in some liquid," (in soppcuppe "cup into which sops are put"), from P.Gmc. *suppo, related to O.E. verb suppan (see sup (2)), probably reinforced by O.Fr. soupe (see soup (n.)). Meaning "something given to appease" is from 1665, an allusion to the sop given by the Sibyl to Cerberus in Virgil's "Aeneid."
