Bound, encircled, or fitted with hoops; gathered or constricted as if by hoops.
From 'be-' prefix plus 'hoop' plus past participle '-ed.' A hoop is a circular band, and the 'be-' verb form means to bind or encircle with hoops, as one would do with a barrel.
Cooperage—the craft of making barrels—gave us several 'be-' verbs that nobody uses anymore, but 'behooped' beautifully captures the physical sensation of being tightly bound.
