Etymology

Borrowed from Italian istupidire.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /stu.pɪˈdɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

stupidixxa (imperfect jistupidixxi, past participle stupidit)

1. to stupefy, to besot, to muddle

Conjugation

• The traditional rule is that the syllable -ixx- is lost before stressed endings; that is in the past tense, before -x, and before a pronominal suffix. The contemporary tendency is to either keep -ixx- in all forms or avoid it in all forms (see stupida above).
