Etymology of PROPPED

The word "propped" is derived from the verb "prop". "Prop" originated from the Middle English word "proppen", which was borrowed from the Old French word "prop(p)er", meaning "to lean against" or "to support". The Old French term can be traced back to the Latin word "propagare", which means "to support" or "to extend". Ultimately, the Latin term is derived from the combination of "pro" (meaning "forward" or "for") and "pagus" (meaning "stake" or "post").
