Italian edit

Etymology edit

From Latin talpa (mole) with a change in gender. The original [ɫ] appears to have vocalized to [u̯] in pre-literary Tuscan,[1] with the resulting [au̯] regularly yielding [ɔ], as in Latin aurum (gold) > Italian òro. Doublet of talpa.

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ˈtɔ.po/
  • (file)
  • Rhymes: -ɔpo
  • Hyphenation: tò‧po

Noun edit

topo m (plural topi, feminine topa, diminutive topìno or topolìno; (less common) topétto or topettìno, augmentative topóne or topolóne, pejorative topàccio)

  1. mouse, rat
    Synonym: sorcio
  2. (by extension) thief; person acting suspiciously or furtively

Usage notes edit

  • Certain authorities including Umberto Eco, semiotician and author, insist that topo does not differentiate between “mouse” and “rat”:
    Aiuto, un topo!Help, a mouse/rat!
  • Here topo is ambiguous — it refers to the impression somebody has when a mouse or rat comes along, that is when somebody panics because of seeing the animal.
