👉 The term "coppice" is often used in literature to describe a place that has been left bare or neglected, like a tree trunk after being cut down. It can also refer to something that is very dry and needs care, such as a desert environment where there are few trees. In modern English usage, the term "coppice" refers to a specific type of wood used in furniture-making, which has been treated with chemicals to create a protective layer.
