the default human setting — everybody gets one, regardless of who needs it
means The small projection on a breast through which milk is delivered (or, in mammals generally, suckled), or by extension any similar small protruding tip on an object.
from A diminutive of the older English 'neb' or 'nib,' meaning a beak, bill, or pointed tip — so a nipple is literally a 'little nib.' The word surfaced in English a few centuries ago, sometimes spelled 'neble,' carrying that same sense of a tiny projecting point, the same family of words that gives us the nib of a pen.
