Etymology of SCOOPED

The word "scooped" comes from the verb "scoop", which has its etymological roots in the Middle Dutch word "scoop", meaning "bucket" or "shovel". This Middle Dutch term was later borrowed into Middle Low German as "schope". Eventually, it made its way into Middle English as "scoop" in the 14th century. The verb "to scoop" emerged in the 16th century, referring to the action of using a scoop or shovel-like tool to dig or lift something. Over time, "scoop" also acquired the sense of obtaining exclusive or breaking news before others, which later influenced the use of "scooped" as being the first to report a story.
