The term TOPEE is a combination of three words: HELMET (6 letters), HAT (3 letters), and TOPI (4 letters). A HELMET is a protective headgear typically worn by cyclists, motorcyclists, and other people engaging in activities that may involve head injuries. A HAT is a head covering that is typically worn for protection from the sun or for fashion. A TOPI is a type of HAT that is traditionally worn in India and other parts of South Asia. Together, these three words form the term TOPEE, which is a type of HAT that combines the features of a HELMET and a TOPI.
