the.com/copse

means A small group of trees growing close together, forming a mini-woodland that's over almost as soon as you've entered it.

from A shortened form of 'coppice,' which traces back through French to the Latin 'colaphus' (a blow or cutting) and further to 'colpus' — the deep root sense being something cut. Coppices were originally managed woodlands, periodically cut back so the trees would regrow in a sustainable cycle. Over time 'coppice' wore down to 'copse,' keeping the sense of small, cultivated woodland even as the cutting-practice meaning faded into the background.
