[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Old East Slavic щуплъ (ščuplŭ, “weak, pathetic”), from Proto-Slavic *ščuplъ. Cognate with Ukrainian щу́плий (ščúplyj, “skinny, unattractive”), also щупля́вий (ščupljávyj); Belarusian шчу́плы (ščúply, “skinny, unattractive”); Czech štíplý (“lean, slender”); Slovak šťúply (“slender, thin”); Polish szczupły (“thin, lean”). Related to щу́пать (ščúpatʹ, “to feel”); original meaning presumably "so skinny that you can feel the bones".
