soupspoon

/sˈupspun/ noun

A spoon for eating soup, typically smaller than a tablespoon and larger than a dessert spoon, characterised by having a round bowl rather than the usual oval bowl of other types of spoon.

Word Origin Soup comes from Late Latin suppa 'bread soaked in broth', from a Germanic root related to sup 'to drink'. Spoon comes from Old English spōn 'chip, splinter', originally a wooden utensil. So a soupspoon is literally a spoon for soup. The word soup is related to sup and supper (the evening meal, originally a soup). Spoon gives us teaspoon, tablespoon, and spoonfeed, so soupspoon is a compound of two everyday words with ancient roots.

noun A spoon for eating soup, typically smaller than a tablespoon and larger than a dessert spoon, characterised by having a round bowl rather than the usual oval bowl of other types of spoon. countable
