A silly question

The word 'pee'. We all use it to describe urinating, but where does it come from? What does it mean?

I've been wondering if it's short for piss or pish?

1st letter of piss

Maybe from spending a penny?

What about "poo" then? Is that just derived from "pee"?

Also, the letter P itself sort of looks like the organ in the act.

Only if you typically pee on your feet.
