The word "tipster" has its roots in the 17th-century English phrase "to tip," which means to give a piece of information or advice in secret. In the 18th century, a "tipster" referred to someone who shared insider information or bribed officials to gain an advantage. The term was particularly used in horse racing, where tipsters would provide tips on which horses would win to gamblers. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include people who shared information about everything from news to stock prices to entertainment events. Today, a tipster is anyone who provides unofficial or exclusive information, often in exchange for a reward or recognition.
