Morphology and etymology of the word ‘Vipp’ have been subject to much debate in recent years. Its origin dates back to the Proto-Indo-European language and is composed of two components: the Proto-Indo-European root ‘vip’ meaning ‘to bend’ and the consonant ‘p’ which, when added to the root, signals a sense of completeness. This has been described as having both a physical and a metaphorical meaning; the physical interpretation suggests that the act of bending is transformative and a sign of completion, while the metaphorical interpretation suggests that the word encapsulates the idea of a new beginning or transition. Throughout history, the word has been gradually adopted into diverse languages, showing variations in pronunciation and form. For instance, in some Indo-European languages, such as Germanic and Nordic languages, the word has been adopted to mean ‘tip’ or ‘bend’; in others, such as Latin, it has been adopted to mean ‘vast’ or ‘spacious’. At the same time, the word has experienced semantic drift, broadening its meaning over time to signify ideas such as ‘transformation’, ‘success’ and ‘fulfillment’.
