Where the word comes from
From Middle English "chepe," meaning "bargain" or "good deal," which came from Old English "ceap," meaning "to buy" or "to sell."

The sense shifted over time from the act of buying to something easily obtained at low cost, eventually meaning inexpensive or of little value.
