Etymology

The word 'cope' has its origins in Middle French, derived from the verb 'coper', which means to strike, cut, or hit. This term was adopted into English around the early 17th century, primarily in the context of handling or managing situations or challenges. Over time, the meaning evolved to reflect a broader sense of dealing with difficulties or stressors in life. The transition from a physical action to a more abstract, emotional or psychological context highlights the development of the word in relation to human experience and resilience. By the late 19th century, 'cope' was firmly established as a term denoting the ability to manage and adapt to challenges, both mentally and emotionally, solidifying its relevance in psychological discourse.
