verb puːppup [with object](of a wave) break over the stern of (a ship), sometimes causing it to capsize. off Rame Head we were badly pooped
Origin Late Middle English: from Old French pupe, from a variant of Latin puppis 'stern'. nincompoop from late 17th century: The word nincompoop perhaps came from Nicodemus, the name of a Jewish Pharisee in the New Testament who became something of a byword for slow-wittedness. Nicodemus secretly visited Jesus one night to hear about his teachings. Jesus explained, ‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God’, which puzzled the Pharisee, who took Jesus literally and said ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’. The -poop part of the word may have come from the old verb poop, which meant ‘to deceive or cheat’. In a similar vein ninny (late 16th century) may be a pet form of the name Innocent.
