The “storage container” and “liquid measure” senses are derived from Middle English pīpe (“large storage receptacle, particularly for wine; cask, vat; measure of volume”), from pīpe (above) and Old French pipe (“liquid measure”).^[2]

The verb is from Middle English pīpen, pypen (“to play a pipe; to make a shrill sound; to speak with a high-pitched tone”), from 古期英語 pīpian (“to pipe”).^[3]
