Etymology
The word goblet comes from the old French gobelet, 'little cup', and is related to the verb gober and the English gobble, which mean 'to swallow' or 'to gulp'. So imagine lifting a small cup and taking a quick drink, and you can see why a goblet is a stemmed cup often used for wine and ceremonies.
