Surface Forms

crapola singular
crapolas plural

Morphology

crapola = crap (transparent) = crap + ola

The word is a jocular pejorative formation from 'crap' plus '-ola', so it straightforwardly denotes a contemptible or worthless person.

Etymology

Crapola comes from crap ('rubbish' or 'worthless') plus the humorous ending -ola, so calling a person a crapola is a rude, joking way to say they are useless or dishonest.
