Information about Cop

A cop is a slang term used to describe police, constables, sheriffs, prison guards and other law enforcement officers. The usage of the word "cop" to refer to law enforcement may have been derived from the verb cop, which means to take or seize, or in reference to copper badges law enforcement officers wore, and most likely does not come from the British reference to Constables On Patrol [1]

  • A component in some place names, e.g. Mow Cop. Here it came from an old word for "head".
  • A component of several other words involving "Head", as above, from the samw source as the German "Kopf". Eg. The Middle English word for a snake, Attercop, meaning "Poison-Head" evolved into the word Adder. Cop, Kop, or Kopf survives in many English words, always referring to 'Head'.
  • "hood" for "lemme get dat."
  • From the original word Capere, cop also refers to catching in a general sense, most usually in British English. Catching a cricket ball in flight, for instance, is referred to as a Cop. Further, it encompasses a more abstract use of catching, such as 'copping trouble' when one can expect to be reprimanded. RAF pilots and other Military branches used it to refer to catching death or destruction. ("His plane copped it over Berlin, I'm afraid"). In slang it can refer to taking ownership in an abstract sense. Somebody can 'cop lucky', criminals can 'cop to their crime', as in confess, and from similar use the word has entered into American English, with lawyers discussing criminals 'copping a plea' (plea bargaining) to reduce their punishments.
