PER

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

A pop" is a casual way to say "each" or "for one," like when you pay for something individually—think "50 cents a pop." The answer "PER" fits because it’s a Latin preposition meaning "for each," matching that same idea. The clue plays on the informal phrase to hint at the more formal word.
