(Pronounced tsuk.ket.to.)
Meaning: This noun refers to a Roman Catholic cleric’s skullcap with different colours for different ranks – black for a priest, purple for a bishop, red for a cardinal, and white for the Pope.
Origin: This word has its origin in the Italian word zucca, meaning gourd, head, in reference to its shape. This is, in turn, from Late Latin cucutia, meaning gourd, probably from Latin cucurbita, meaning pumpkin or squash.
Example: The wind swept away the Pope's zucchetto.
