laputa

Ang salitang "Laputa" ay isang pangngalan na tumutukoy sa isang lumulutang na isla sa nobelang "Gulliver's Travels" ni Jonathan Swift. Sa aklat, ang Laputa ay isang lumilipad na lungsod-estado na pinaninirahan ng mga siyentipiko at intelektuwal na labis na nasisipsip sa kanilang sariling mga teorya na sila ay naging hiwalay sa ibang bahagi ng mundo. Ang pangalang "Laputa" ay nagmula sa salitang Espanyol na "la puta," na nangangahulugang "ang patutot." Gayunpaman, ang paggamit ni Swift ng salita ay walang anumang bulgar na konotasyon.
