Etymology of YIPE

The word "yipe" is an informal exclamation commonly used to express surprise, fear, or pain. Its etymology is not well-documented, as it is considered to be an example of a "nonstandard or arbitrary formation" according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

It is believed that "yipe" may have originated as an onomatopoeic expression, imitating the sound or cry made by someone when they are frightened or in sudden discomfort. The word itself is meant to mimic a high-pitched yelp or shriek, possibly reflecting a sense of abrupt alarm or startle.

As a result of its vague etymology and informal nature, "yipe" is often used in comic strips, cartoons, and informal speech to convey a sense of exaggerated surprise or fright.
