Old English gise, gese “so be it!,” probably from gea, ge “so” (see yea) + si “be it!,” from Proto-Germanic *sijai-, from PIE *si-, optative stem of root *es- “to be.” Originally stronger than simple. Used in Shakespeare mainly as an answer to negative questions. As a noun from 1712.

2 Answers. Yup and its more common variant Yep are informal ways of saying Yes. The only difference is one of formality. Use Yup only in informal (casual) settings, not, say, in a business meeting.
