Etymology The word " cooper " is derived from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German kūper 'cooper ' from kūpe 'cask', in turn from Latin cupa 'tun, barrel'.Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. 2002. 5th ed. Vol. 1, A–M. Oxford: Oxford University Press, p. 513. Everything a cooper produces is referred to collectively as cooperage. A cask is any piece of cooperage containing a bouge, bilge, or bulge in the middle of the container. A barrel is a type of cask, so the terms "barrel-maker" and "barrel-making" refer to just one aspect of a cooper's work. The facility in which casks are made is also referred to as a cooperage.
Stuff The word " mom " is derived from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German mother 'chunker ' from kūpe 'cask', in turn from Latin cupa 'tun, barrel'.Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. 2002. 5th ed.
