Where this word comes from

First attested as Ipuscua in 1025, itself maybe from iputz + ko in the absolutive singular form. This seems to match the etymology proposed by Koldo Mitxelena, except that he gives giputz (“Gipuzkoan”) as the first element. But the relation between the two words is complex, giputz could be derivated from iputz given that it is only attested since the XVIII century. Nevertheless it can also be an alternative form used in the region or also a back-formation from the region name.
