Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈt͡ʃɒp.stɪk/ [UK], /ˈt͡ʃɑp.stɪk/ [US] Audio: En-us-chopstick.ogg [US], LL-Q1860 (eng)-Naomi Persephone Amethyst (NaomiAmethyst)-chopstick.wav [General-American] Forms: chopsticks [plural], chop-stick [alternative]
Etymology: Apparently a compound of chop + stick, but the sense of the first element is not clear. The term was earliest applied to fishing tackle (from 1615), later being transferred to the dining utensil (attested since 1637) driven by their visual resemblance. The commonly held derivation from Chinese Pidgin English chop(-chop) (“quick”), a supposed calque from Chinese 筷子 (kuàizi, “chopstick, literally, ‘little quick ones’”), derived from 快 (kuài, “quick”), is chronologically impossible as Chinese Pidgin English did not come into existence until the 18th century.
