from A transparent compound of "stop" and "over," assembled in the same workshop that built "layover" and "sleepover." "Stop" descends from Old English "stoppian," meaning to plug or block up — originally about stuffing holes, later about halting motion. "Over" carries the sense of staying across a span of time. The word is a relatively modern travel-age coinage, riding in on the rails and runways of the late 19th and 20th centuries, when journeys grew long enough to need a name for the pause inside them.
