chirpv.

Brit.

/tʃəːp/, U.S.

/tʃərp/

Forms: Also Middle English chyrpe, 1500s churpe, shirp, 1500s–1600s chirpe, 1600s cherp.

Etymology: A late word, evidently owing its origin to the working of mimetic modification upon the earlier synonyms chirk adj. and chirt n. The labial p with which chirp ends, being more suggestive of the movements of a bird's bill (compare cheep , peep , etc.), this has become the prevailing form, and the proper word for the action. (See also chirr n.) Compare modern German zirpen, a parallel imitative word.

a. intransitive. To utter the short sharp thin sound proper to some small birds and certain insects.
