トップ — top

🔝 Borrowed straight from English top, with a small tsu doubling the p: to-p-pu

トップ is a loanword from English top. The small ッ doubles the p sound, and Japanese adds a final u because words can't end in a bare p, so top becomes to-p-pu. It's used for the top rank, the leader, or the top of a page.
