Etymology

The word 'coupe' originated in France in the 19th century, derived from the French verb 'couper', meaning 'to cut'. Initially, it referred to a four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle, but later transitioned to describe a type of carriage with a fixed roof. In the automotive industry, 'coupe' came to represent a two-door car with a fixed roof. The term has since expanded to include various styles and designs of cars.
