Coup has had a rich development in French, gaining numerous senses, participating in numerous phrases, such as coup d'état (a term that we have borrowed), and giving rise to many derivatives, including couper, “to cut; literally, to pide with a blow or stroke.” Couper yielded the word coupon, “a portion that is cut off,” which came to refer to a certificate that was detachable from a principal certificate. The detachable certificate could be exchanged for interest or pidend payments by the holder of the principal certificate. Coupon is first recorded in English in 1822 with this sense and then came to apply to forms or tickets, detachable or otherwise, that could be exchanged for various benefits or used to request information.羅馬人大概很難想象拉丁詞 colaphus意爲“拳頭的一擊”所發生的變化。在由拉丁文發展而來的古法語中，由拉丁詞 colaphus轉變爲後期拉丁文中的 colpus，變爲了 colp或現代法語中的 coup，意思未變。

1、 Coup在法語中變化發展很多，具有了許多意思，組成了許多短語，如 coup d'ètat（英語中已借用的單詞），並生成許多派生詞，包括 couper“切；字面上的意思是用一擊或一打使分開。

2、” Couper又產生了 coupon一詞，意思是“切掉的一部分”， 並且還用來指可從主要證書中分開的票證。

3、這個可分票證可以由主證書的持有者爲得利息或分期付款進行交換。
