...A thicket or grove of small trees.
...Copse derives from Old French copeiz, "a thicket for cutting," from coper, couper, "to cut." It is related to coupon, at root "the part that is cut off."
On my land there is a copse you keep of care for you, and plunder with large fires where you move your inflated shadow and tell stories of yourself. It's growing thin.
