Origin

Middle English: shortening of Old French eschoppe 'lean-to booth', of West Germanic origin; related to German Schopf 'porch' and English dialect shippon 'cattle shed'. The verb is first recorded (mid 16th century) in the sense 'imprison' (from an obsolete slang use of the noun for 'prison'), hence sense 2 of the verb.

The earliest shops were small stalls or booths, like the ones you might see today in a market or used by a pavement trader. Shop came into English as a medieval shortening of early French eschoppe ‘lean-to booth’. The activity of shopping dates from the 1760s. The slang sense ‘to inform on’ is earlier, dating from 1583—the original implication was of causing someone to be locked up. A slang dictionary of 1874 first recorded all over the shop as ‘pugilistic [boxing] slang’—to inflict severe punishment on an opponent was ‘to knock him all over the shop’. Nowadays it means ‘everywhere, in all directions’, or ‘wildly or erratically’.

Rhymes

atop, bop, chop, clop, cop, crop, dop, drop, Dunlop, estop, flop, fop, glop, hop, intercrop, knop, kop, lop, mop, op, plop, pop, prop, screw-top, slop, sop, stop, strop, swap, tiptop, top, underprop, whop
