Etymology of POPISHES

The word "popishes" is derived from "popish", which is in turn derived from "Popish" (with a capital "P"). It originated in the late 16th century and is related to the noun "Pope".

"Popish" was initially used to describe the practices, doctrines, or adherents of the Roman Catholic Church, especially in a derogatory or pejorative sense. It was primarily used during the time of the Protestant Reformation when there was significant tension between Protestant and Catholic communities.

The term "Popish" was coined based on the idea that the Pope, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church, had too much influence and power, especially in matters of religion. The negative connotations associated with the term reflected the Protestant viewpoint that the Catholic Church's practices were excessive or erroneous.
