huppu

Finnish

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.

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)
