Sop
A sop is a piece of bread or toast that is soaked in liquid food and then eaten. In medieval cuisine, sops were very common. Sops were served with wine, soup or broth, and then picked apart into smaller pieces to soak in the liquid. At elaborate feasts, bread was often pre-cut into finger-sized pieces rather than broken off by the diners themselves. French onion soup, originating in its current form in the 18th century, can be considered a modern-day sop. The word "soup" is a cognate of "sop", both stemming ultimately from the same Germanic source. The word is mentioned prominently in the Bible, King James Version:
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Sop
sop, n. anything dipped or soaked, esp. in soup, to be eaten: anything given to satisfy or quieten.—v.t. to steep in liquor: to take up by absorption (with up).—v.i. to soak in, percolate: to be soaked:—pr.p. sop′ping; pa.t. and pa.p. sopped.—n. Sop-, Sops-, in-wine (Spens.), a flower resembling a carnation. [A.S. sop (in sópcuppa, a dish), from súpan, to sip; Ice. soppa, soup.]
