Is a cup collective noun?

No, "cup" is not a collective noun.

Collective nouns refer to a group of things considered as a single unit, like "flock" (of birds), "team" (of players), or "pack" (of wolves).

"Cup" refers to a single object, even if it holds multiple things.

However, you could use a collective noun to describe a group of cups:

* Set of cups

* Stack of cups

* Collection of cups
