"lupa" meaning in Latin

See lupa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈlu.pa/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈɫ̪ʊpä] [Classical-Latin], /ˈlu.pa/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈluːpä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: The feminine version of lupus. The sense “prostitute” is either a comparison of the prostitutes' predation on men to the wolf's rapacity, as also in Isidore's (often fanciful) opinion, or a reference to the she-wolf's uncleanliness and promiscuity (often culturally conflated), parallelled in English bitch.
