Lollipop is a term that dates back to 1784, thought to derive from
loll, a Middle English term meaning "to dangle" -- and
pop, meaning "strike" or "slap." Another derivation may come from the dialect of Northumberland (near the Scottish border), where
lolly meant the "tongue." Its use as a word for a "hard candy on a stick" dates from the 1920s. And then there's Fran's definition.
Yummy.
