Etymology

Borrowed from New Latin pupa, from special use of Latin pūpa.

Noun

pupa f (plural pupas)

pupa (insect in its development stage between a larva and an adult)

Romanian

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. 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”).
