different between pipe vs passage

English

Etymology

From Middle English p?pe, pype (“hollow cylinder or tube used as a conduit or container; duct or vessel of the body; musical instrument; financial records maintained by the English Exchequer, pipe roll”), from Old English p?pe (“pipe (musical instrument); the channel of a small stream”), from Proto-Germanic *p?p?. Reinforced by Vulgar Latin *p?pa, from Latin pipire, pipiare, pipare, from p?pi? (“to chirp, peep”), of imitative origin.

The “storage container” and “liquid measure” senses are derived from Middle English p?pe (“large storage receptacle, particularly for wine; cask, vat; measure of volume”), from p?pe (above) and Old French pipe (“liquid measure”).

The verb is from Middle English p?pen, pypyn (“to play a pipe; to make a shrill sound; to speak with a high-pitched tone”), from Old English p?pian (“to pipe”).
