The word "cup" originates from the Old English term "cūppa," which is derived from the Latin word "cupa," meaning a container or vessel. This Latin term is related to the Greek word "kypellon," which also refers to a drinking vessel. Over time, the term evolved in various languages, ultimately leading to its modern usage in English to describe a small, typically cylindrical container for drinking.
