Etymology of SCOOP
The word "scoop" originated from the Middle Dutch word "scoop", meaning a shovel or ladle. It entered the English language in the early 14th century and originally referred to a ladle used for measuring grain or other dry goods. Over time, the term expanded to include utensils used for serving or transferring food or liquids. In the 17th century, "scoop" also began to be used figuratively to mean "exclusive news obtained before others". This extended meaning is related to the idea of "scooping" or digging up information before others have a chance to report it.
