Dutch

Etymology

From Middle Dutch pippe, pip, pips (“pip”, also “cold, flu”), ultimately from post-classical Latin pip(p)ita, from Latin pītuīta (“slime, head cold”).

The word was borrowed into West Germanic before the High German consonant shift as *pippit, whence Old High German pfipfiz and (Central German) pipz, *pippiz (modern German Pips, obsolete Pfipfs). In Dutch and Low German we should expect a form such as *pippet, which is not attested, however. One possibility is that these dialects borrowed the Central German form and the final s-sound was later reanalysed as the genitive suffix. Middle Dutch also had pipeye, from Old French pipie.
