Borrowed from New Latin pupa, from special use of Latin pūpa.
- Hyphenation: pu‧pa
pupa f (plural pupas)
- pupa (insect in its development stage between a larva and an adult)
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 Albanian puth (“to kiss”).
a pupa (third-person singular present pupă, past participle pupat) 1st conj.
- (transitive or reciprocal, informal) to kiss
- Synonym: (literary or formal) săruta
- (reciprocal, figurative, colloquial) to match, to coincide, make for a good fit
- (transitive, chiefly in the negative, figurative, colloquial) to obtain or stay in possession of something desired

pupa (n class, plural pupa)
- pụpa (Ekiti)
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
