A lit window shone from between the trees below them, then vanished again as the car dipped over a ditch and passed through a copse. --Kate Bingham, [1]Mummy's Legs Among the mountains, hills, streams, waterfalls, and little copses, the child rejoiced in "savouring the delights of freedom" that stimulated his boyish dreams and reveries. --Suheil Bushrui and Joe Jenkins, [2]Kahlil Gibran: Man and Poet They sang freely in the copses and thickets round Bohain, and in the ruins of the mediaeval castle where he played as a boy. --Hilary Spurling, [3]The Unknown Matisse _________________________________________________________ Copse derives from Old French copeiz, "a thicket for cutting," from coper, couper, "to cut."
