Props = Properties

So named because in 1700/1800s in Europe many small traveling acting troupes were formed . May of the "companies of players worked in collaberation or a cooperative. They frequently pooled their equipment and general resources and then split any payment they obtained. Many performers supplied their own costumes (mostly because they were made be them anyway) but there were some items like furniture, pistols swords, knives etc which were actuallt the PROPERTY of the company. The word property or properties was shortened to PROPS
