The term "puppet" is derived from the Middle English word "poupette," which is a diminutive form of "poupen," meaning "to pull" or "to push." This reflects the way puppets are manipulated by strings, rods, or hands. The word has roots in various languages, often related to play and performance, underscoring their role in entertainment and storytelling. Puppets have been part of human culture for centuries, serving as a medium for artistic expression and communication.
