Coup, coop sb.2 Obs. or dial. [perh. the same word as COOP sb.1 (formerly coupe, coup). In German, as is pointed out by Hildebrand (in Grimm), kiepe, prop. a basket, is also applied in Saxony to a chest or box, and to a box-cart. We might suppose our word to be short for COUP-CART (now taken in the sense of a cart that can be tilted), but the simple word appears much earlier than the compound.]
