Nearly ten years ago [I was kvetching about the word “monokini”](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/words-made-up-of-two-languages/441708/43) for a topless bikini. It’s a portmanteau of the Greek prefix “mono-” “one” with the toponym “bikini” (from Micronesian “pikinni”), via an implied Latin prefix “bi-” “two”!

I still think that word really ought to be “unikini”. 😄
