Etymology of SHOUP

The term "shoup" seems to have multiple meanings and origins. In some cases, it is suggested to be an informal or slang variant of the word "soup". This particular usage might be derived from the phonetic similarity between "shoup" and "soup".

Alternatively, in certain regional dialects, "shoup" can refer to a type of thick fermented fish sauce, particularly in parts of Scotland and Northern England. This usage possibly originates from the Norse word "sópa", which means "tosup" or "sop up". The term "sópa" was adopted into Middle English as "sop", which refers to a piece of bread soaked in liquid. Over time, it is conceivable that "sop" evolved to "shoup" in certain dialects.

Furthermore, there are instances where "shoup" is neither related to "soup" nor to the Scottish fish sauce.
