Lollipops

/ˈlɑːliˌpɑːpz/ noun

Definition

Round or flat candies on a stick, often brightly colored and with various flavors.

Etymology

From 'loll' (to hang out of the mouth) plus 'pop' (a sound or father figure). The term emerged in the early 1900s, possibly combining British slang 'lolly' with 'pop,' creating an onomatopoetic name for the candy.

Kelly Says

Lollipops were actually invented as a way to preserve candy without it sticking together—by putting it on a stick, manufacturers could make them individually wrapped and sold for a penny, which made candy accessible to working-class children for the first time.
