▪ IV. tipple, v.1|ˈtɪp(ə)l|
Forms: 6– tipple. Also 6 typle, typple, typpel(l, typpil, 6–8 tiple, 7 tippel.
[Known (in simple tenses) from 1544, in pres. pple. tippling (as ppl. a.), app. before 1500; in vbl. n. tippling from 1531. But the agent-noun tippler occurs as an established and app. legal term in 1396, and frequently in the 15th c.; so that either the verb must have existed before 1400, though not yet in evidence, or tippler must have originated otherwise, and tipple have arisen from it as a back-formation: cf. pedlar, peddle v.
The ulterior history is uncertain; tipple or tippler cannot, from the date, be a freq. deriv. of tip v.2 in any sense; nor is it easy to connect it with LG. and Du. tippel ‘tip, extreme point’ (tip n.1). But according to Aasen, Norw. dial. tipla ‘to drip slowly’, which Falk and Torp derive from tippa to project, to drip, from tip ‘point’, has also the sense ‘to drink in small quantities’, ‘tipple’, evidently related to the Eng. word, though the mode of relationship is not clear. An ultimate connexion with tap n.1, v.1 has also been thought possible, but connecting links are wanting.]
