Root Explanation
The word 'bloop' originates from the early 20th century, likely imitating the sound of a bubbling liquid or a small splash. It is an example of onomatopoeia, where the word's formation is based on the sound it represents rather than traditional roots from Latin, Greek, or other languages.
Memory Tip
Think of the sound of a small splash or bubble — that's what 'bloop' mimics, helping you remember that it refers to a similar sound.
