OriginLate Middle English (in the sense 'join'): from Latin copulat- 'fastened together', from the verb copulare, from copula (see copula). couple from Middle English: This comes via Old French from Latin copulare formed from co- ‘together’ and apere ‘fasten’. The term couplet (late 16th century) used in poetry for a pair of successive (usually rhyming) lines, means literally ‘little pair’. Copulate (Late Middle English) at first meant ‘join’ and is from the same source.
