Origin:
The word "pupation" comes from the Latin word "pupa," which means "doll" or "puppet." This is because the pupa, the stage in an insect's life cycle where it undergoes metamorphosis, is often immobile and resembles a doll.
The word "pupa" itself is thought to have originated from the Greek word "póppē," which also means "doll" or "puppet." This word is believed to have been used to describe the pupa because of its resemblance to a small, inanimate object.
