組成English has long felt it as loll + y + pop, probably through lolly, old slang for the tongue or the head. It is recorded from 1784. A story you will hear — that it comes from Romani words for “red apple” — is almost certainly wrong. Candy apples became well known about a hundred years after lollipop was already in English, and the first lollipops were probably small cheap sweets, not apples on sticks.
