One small sharp sound: pop. English takes the verb pop, adds -er, and the whole page grows from that. Some things on this page make the sound themselves when you press them or crack them open; others are machines that make something else burst. Either way, the name is a recording of a noise, not a description of a shape, which is why a jacket , a popcorn machine and a drug can all sit under one spelling.
From the word’s history
The source records popper as pop + -er, the ordinary English way of naming the thing that does something. It does not gloss the sound itself, so the link between the noise and each meaning is offered here as a way of seeing the word, not as a documented history of each use.
資料只記到一句：popper 等於 pop 加 -er，也就是英文裡「做這件事的那個東西」的普通造字方式。至於每個意思是怎麼一路長出來的，資料沒有一一交代。所以這裡的連線是一種看法，不是考證。
