Plural of coupe: a closed car with two doors and usually a sporty design, or a type of dessert served in a small cup.
From French 'coup' (cut) and 'coupe' (a cut carriage). The term referred to a carriage with its top 'cut' shorter, and was later applied to motor cars. The dessert sense comes from the cup-shaped serving vessel.
The coupe car design is experiencing a surprising comeback—for decades they were considered impractical, but now luxury brands are reviving the sleek two-door coupe because they represent performance and style over family practicality.
