Etymology

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.

Cognate with puth (“to kiss”).

Alternative forms

Etymology

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

Pronunciation

Noun

pupa

  1. red; that which is red

Verb

pupa

  1. to be red; to become red
    Synonyms: pọ́n, rẹ̀ dòdò
  2. to be light in color, usually in regard to skin tone

Derived terms

Usage

  • As one of the three basic colors of Yoruba, the others being dúdú, funfun, the color "pupa" serves as a general class for many bright or warm colors including yellow, orange, and pink.
