STOPPERED Meaning and Definition

1. Stoppered is an adjective that describes an object, typically a container or a vessel, that has been sealed or closed tightly with a stopper. A stopper is a device used to seal the opening of a container in order to prevent the contents from leaking, spilling or evaporating. It usually consists of a plug made of cork, rubber, or a similar material that fits tightly into the opening of the container.

   When an item is described as stoppered, it signifies that its opening has been effectively blocked or sealed with a stopper. This tight seal enables the container to maintain the integrity of its contents, preventing any external factors from interfering with its quality, freshness, or potency. The stoppering process plays a crucial role in preserving substances or materials that may be sensitive to air exposure, moisture, or other factors.

   This term is often used in the context of laboratory experiments, medical containers, wine bottles, or any other situation where it is vital to prevent the contents from being exposed to the outside environment. By keeping the item stoppered, it ensures that the container remains tightly sealed until it is intentionally opened, guaranteeing the preservation of its contents over time.

Etymology of STOPPERED

The word "stoppered" is derived from the verb "stopper", which originated in the 15th century from the Middle English word "stoperen". This Middle English term was further derived from the Old French word "estopper", meaning "to stop up" or "to close with a stopper". The Old French term, in turn, was derived from the Latin word "stuppa", which referred to a tow or flax used for stopping a hole or gap. Ultimately, the Latin term can be traced back to the Greek word "stupē", meaning "tow" or "stubble". Thus, the word "stoppered" emerged from the process of creating an adjective form of "stopper" to describe something that has been closed or sealed using a stopper.
