Etymology of HOP INTO
The word "hop into" is a phrasal verb combining the verb "hop" and the preposition "into". Each word has its own distinct etymology:
- "Hop" originated from the Middle Dutch word "hoppen", which meant "to dance" or "to jump lightly". This Middle Dutch term likely evolved from the Old Dutch word " huipen" and the Proto-Germanic word "hūpōną".
- "Into" has its roots in Old English, where it was spelled as "intō" or "in tō". It is a combination of the preposition "in" (meaning "in" or "inside") and the particle "tō" (meaning "to" or "into"). These elements can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "in" and the Proto-Indo-European root "en".
