sipped
SaySIPT/sɪpt/
- 1Simple past and past participle of sip.
She sipped her coffee while reading the morning news.
They sipped chilled wine on the terrace as the sun set.
Note
One spelling serves both past forms, with the final p doubled after the short vowel: she sipped, the wine had been sipped. It takes an object (sipped her tea) or stands alone (she sipped and waited), and figuratively covers anything taken in slowly. In dated Scottish and American use the same form could be the past of seep, so in older texts it may describe liquid seeping, not someone drinking.
