Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Puppis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin Puppis (1834 or earlier in this sense: see below), specific use (after French pouppe (adopted as the name of the constellation by N. L. de La Caille 1752, in Mém. de l'Acad. Royale des Sci. (1756) 5)) of classical Latin puppis stern, of uncertain origin.Compare the following early use of post-classical Latin Puppis denoting the constellation:1834 Penny Cycl. II. 309/1 Owing to the extent of this constellation, it is usual to subdivide it into four... named as follows: Argo, Argo in Carina.., Argo in Puppi.., Argo in Velis.

Astronomy.

(The name of) a constellation of the southern hemisphere lying partly in the Milky Way south of Canis Major; the Poop. Also used as postmodifier in the names of stars belonging to this constellation. Abbreviated Pup (without point).The constellation was formed, together with Carina, Pyxis, and Vela, by the splitting of the former constellation Argo in the 19th cent.

That Argo be divided into four separate constellations, as partly contemplated by Lacaille; retaining his designations of Carina, Puppis and Vela; and substituting the term Malus for Pixis Nautica.

1897 Proc. Royal Soc. 62 63 Professor E. C. Pickering has recently announced that the spectrum of ζ Puppis contains a new series of lines.
