chopstick

chopstick: [17] A chopstick is literally a ‘quick stick’. The element chop occurs more recognizably in chop-chop ‘quickly’; it is a Pidgin English modification of Cantonese Chinese gap ‘urgent’. ‘Quick stick’ is a rather free translation of the Chinese term for ‘chopsticks’, Cantonese kuàizi, literally ‘fast ones, nimble ones’.
