Definition: The word "pop" in Old English means "to pop up," but its usage was expanded into "pop" meaning "to spread." In Christianity, it can refer to spreading God's word or doing a "popish" thing like putting on makeup, so it could also be translated as "going about" with a poppy stick or popping. The word comes from the verb "pop," which means "to pluck one out of its place" or "to plant something in its place."
