Etymology of TAPPED

The word "tapped" originated from the Old English word "tæppian" or "tæppan". This Old English term meant "to strike lightly" or "to step lightly". Over time, the meaning of "tapped" evolved to include the action of drawing liquid from a cask or container by inserting a tap or spigot. This association with liquid extraction likely stems from the notion of striking or piercing a container to access its contents. As a result, "tapped" came to be a verb used to describe the action of drawing or accessing something, whether it be liquid from a keg or information from a source.
