# 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: /ˈhupːu/, [ˈhupːu]
* Rhymes: -upːu
* Hyphenation: hup‧pu

### Noun

huppu
* hood (covering for the head; protective cover) [from 18th c.]
* construction tarp (used to temporarily cover a building for construction during winter or cold weather)
* (slang) hoodie (foreskin)
