Etymology 1

Compare with Ifè kpikpa, probably from a reduplication of pa (to be red), which follows the general pattern of the other basic color roots, which involve a duplication of monosyllabic verbs. See dúdú (black), a reduplication of (to be dark) and funfun, a reduplication of fun (to be white). Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *-kpa

Perhaps related to Fon kpákpá (a tree with red wood), proposed by Westerman to be derived from Proto-Volta-Congo *pia
