Etymology

Inherited from Old French: pipie

In summary

Inherited from Old French pipie, from Vulgar Latin *pippīta, alteration of Latin pītuīta (“mucus”). The form with a geminated *-pp- also underlies the Germanic borrowings (German Pips, Dutch and English pip). Other Romance shows simple -p- (e.g. Italian pipita, Portuguese pevide) attested as Medieval Latin pipīta. Doublet of pituite.
