Etymology
In summary
From Old French conopé, conope (later altered in form and meaning based on Medieval Latin canāpēum, alteration of canōpēum (“mosquito net”)), itself from Latin cōnōpēum (“seat with a canopy”), from Ancient Greek κωνωπεῖον (kōnōpeîon), from κώνωψ (kṓnōps, “mosquito”). Cognate with English canopy.
