chổi lau nhà
/mɒp//mɑːp/The origin of the word "mop" can be traced back to the early 16th century, when it was first used to describe a type of sail that was used on ships. During this time, the sail called a "mope" was made from hemp or flax and was used to soak up water during the ship's cleaning process. This sail was hung over the side of the ship and was used to gather water, mopping up the excess moisture from the ship's deck. Over time, the word "mope" began to be associated with cleaning and mopping, as the sail came to be used as a tool for cleaning the ship itself. The word "mope" eventually evolved into "mop," and by the 18th century, we find references to mops being used as cleaning tools in homes and other buildings. The modern-day mop, of course, bears little resemblance to its seafaring origins, but the word that describes it still carries a hint of its maritime past. So next time you're mopping your floor, you can thank the sailors of the past for giving the world this helpful cleaning tool.
