Word origin

The word 'cooped' is derived from the Middle English 'cลpe', which referred to a small enclosure or pen for animals, particularly chickens. Its roots can be traced back to the Old English 'cลซpe', which signified a small room or area. Over time, 'cooped' evolved to represent not only physical confinements but also the feeling of being trapped or restricted in various contexts, including social situations and emotional states. The metaphorical extension of the term illustrates the universal experience of confinement that can arise in daily life, as well as the longing for freedom and space.
