Definition
A police station or jail; informal slang for a building where police officers work or where prisoners are held.
Etymology
From 'cop' (police officer, from 19th-century slang possibly derived from 'copper' or 'to cop' meaning to catch) + 'house.' This blending emerged in 20th-century informal American English.
Kelly Says
The word 'cop' itself is still debated by linguists—some think it comes from 'copper' badges, others from Old English 'cop' (to seize)—so 'cophouse' contains a word mystery within it.
