Etymology of CHEEP

The word "cheep" derived from Middle English "chepen", which meant "to bargain, cheapen". It further originated from Old English "ceapian", meaning "to bargain, purchase". This Old English term ultimately stems from the Proto-Germanic root "*kaupōną", referring to the act of buying or trading. The word has been used to imitate the sound made by a young bird, particularly a chick, hence coming to represent the sound itself.
