sipv.

Forms: Middle English syppy(n, cyppyn, 1500s syppe; Middle English, 1600s sippe (Middle English scippe), 1500s– sip.

Etymology: Of obscure origin; possibly a modification of sup intended to express a slighter action. Kilian's ‘Sippen, pitissare, sorbillare’ is not otherwise certified, and is rendered suspicious by his citing ‘Ang. sippe’; but a Low German sippen in the same sense is given in the Bremisches Wörterbuch, and appears to be genuine.

1. intransitive. To take up liquid in small quantities with the lips; to drink by a sip or sips; frequently with of (a specified liquid, etc.). Also in figurative contexts.
