Etymology

The French noun **hop** is a direct loan from the English interjection *hop*, used to get attention or encourage. It comes from the English verb *hop* (Old English *hopian*, “to leap”), which is rooted in Proto‑Germanic *hopōną and the PIE root *sep‑ “to jump or bound.” French adopted the word in the 19th century, especially in sports and informal contexts, to mean the same encouraging shout.
