huppu

Finnish

Etymology

Unclear.

  • Perhaps from huppa, huppo (“a type of hoodlike headwear; covering”) +‎ -u. Compare dialectal hupussa, umpihupussa (“covered”) and huppeluksissa (“under water”).
  • Possibly derived through contamination with the words hukkua (“to drown”), uppo (“under water”) and upota (“to sink”).
  • Cognate with Karelian huppu (“hood, covering”), though that may be a loan of the Finnish word.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈhupːu/, [ˈhupːu]
  • Rhymes: -upːu
  • Syllabification(key): hup‧pu

  1. hood (covering for the head; protective cover) [from 18th c.]
