“价格低廉,可以以小成本购买”,约于1500年,最终源自古英语名词 ceap “交易,购买”,来自 ceapian(v.)“贸易,买卖”,可能源自早期日耳曼语借用的拉丁语 caupo “小商贩,叫卖者,小贩”, cauponari “讨价还价”(参见 chapman)。从同一借词中比较,德语 kaufen “购买”,古诺尔斯语 kaupa “讨价还价”,哥特语 kaupon “贸易,交易”。
意义演变是从名词意思的“交换,购买”到“买方评估的购买”,因此形容词意思是“廉价的”,是主要的现代意义,通过中古英语短语 god chep “有利的交易”(12世纪,法语 a bon marché 的翻译)等演变而来。
“轻视,普通”的意义来自于1590年代(类似的演变还有拉丁语 vilis)。“价格低廉”的意思在古英语中用 undeor 表示,字面意思是“不贵”(但是 deop ceap,字面意思是“深度便宜”,意思是“高价”)。
这个词在古英语中也用于“市场”(如 ceapdæg “市场日”),这个意义在地名 Cheapside, East Cheap 等中仍然存在。做某事on the cheap“花费非常少”始于1859年。Cheap shot最初是美式足球术语,指正面撞击; 在政治等方面的扩展意义是在1970年代。
德语 billig “便宜”源自中低地德语 billik,最初是“公平的,公正的”,通过 billiger preis “公平的价格”等意义演变而来。
