Etymology

The French noun **chip** is a recent borrowing from English, where it originally meant a small fragment or splinter. English *chip* dates back to Middle English *chipe*, derived from Old Norse *kippra* “to cut, split,” and is cognate with German *Kippe*. The term entered French in the 20th century, especially to refer to computer micro‑chips and small pieces of material.
