Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *lapido, related to Estonian labidas, Karelian labju, Veps labid and Votic lappia. Possibly borrowed from a Balto-Slavic language; compare Proto-Slavic *lopata (“shovel, spade”), Lithuanian lópeta (“shovel”), Latvian lâpsta (“shovel, spade”) and Old Prussian lopto (“spade”). Also theorized to be equivalent to lapa (“wide, flat blade of a tool”) +‎ -io, but this is phonologically less tenable.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈlɑpio/, [ˈlɑ̝pio̞]
• Rhymes: -ɑpio
• Syllabification^(key): la‧pi‧o
• Hyphenation^(key): la‧pio

Noun

lapio

1. shovel (tool for moving portions of material)
2. spade (garden tool with a handle and a flat blade for digging)

Usage notes

No strict distinction between shovels and spades occurs in Finnish. The term lapio can be used for any tool consisting of a flat blade attached to a handle that is used for digging and/or carrying material. Compound words are used for more specific uses, like istutuslapio (“(gardening) trowel”), laastilapio (“(mortar) trowel”), lumilapio (“snow shovel”), pistolapio (“shovel (with a pointed tip)”) or puutarhalapio (“gardening spade”).
