"おっぱい" meaning in Japanese

See おっぱい in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [o̞p̚pa̠i] Forms: おっぱい [canonical], オッパイ [canonical], oppai [romanization]
Etymology: Generally agreed upon as originating from baby talk. Derivation unclear. Possibilities include: * A shift from ををうまい (wo wo umai, literally “huh huh delicious”), as something a baby might think while breastfeeding. :: /wo wo umai/ → /o o umai/ → /oːmai/ → /opːai/ : While suggestive, the phonetic changes required seem unlikely. Moreover, the pitch accent differs, in that うまい (umai) has a high pitch on the ma followed by a downstep, while おっぱい (oppai) has a high pitch on the initial o followed by a downstep. * A shift from 一杯 (ippai, “one serving, one cupful; full”), as something a baby might say when done breastfeeding, or when asking to do so. :: /ipːai/ → /opːai/ : This seems more likely, as the phonetics align better: only one vowel changes, and the pitch accent in ippai is similar with a high pitch on the initial i followed by a downstep.
