Where this word comes from

Uncertain; possibly an expressive formation (variant of pop; cf. also coc), or a substrate term (compare Albanian pupë (“bud”)), or less likely linked to (Vulgar) Latin puppa (“teat, nipple”). More likely ultimately from Proto-Slavic *pǫpъ (compare Serbo-Croatian pup (“bud”)) or Hungarian pup, although this would only explain one of the senses.
