Pronunciation edit
- Hyphenation: pu‧pa
Noun edit
pupa f (plural pupas)
- pupa (insect in its development stage between a larva and an adult)
Romanian edit
Etymology edit
From a Vulgar Latin *puppāre, from puppa (“breast, teat, nipple”), from Latin pūpa; or perhaps formed from a hypothetical, now lost noun *pupă in early Romanian, from this Latin word. Compare Italian poppare (“to suckle”), poppa (“boob, breast”), Catalan and Occitan popar (“to suckle”), popa (“boob, breast”). Less likely from or linked to pup (“bud”). Cognate with puth (“to kiss”).
Pronunciation edit

a pupa (third-person singular present pupă, past participle pupat) 1st conj. (informal)
- (transitive or reciprocal) to kiss
- Synonym: săruta
- Te pup dulce.
- I kiss you sweetly.
- (reciprocal) to match, to coincide

Etymology edit
Compare with Ifè kpikpa, probably from a reduplication of pa (“to be red”), which follows the general pattern of the other basic color roots, which involve a duplication of monosyllabic verbs. See dúdú (“black”), a reduplication of dú (“to be dark”) and funfun, a reduplication of fun (“to be white”). Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *-kpa
Perhaps related to Fon kpákpá (“a tree with red wood”), proposed by Westerman to be derived from Proto-Volta-Congo *pia
