Coppice
from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day
Coppice is a noun that refers to a thick growth of shrubbery, small trees or underbrush. The Latin word colpus (COLE poos) means ‘a blow.’ From there our word of the day shifted its meaning and by the Late Middle English period, it came to refer to a shrubbery. Here’s an example: The coppice out back was lovely. It’s nice to see some greenery this far into the desert.
