WHAT DOES LOPPER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lopper

Loppers

Loppers are a type of scissors used for pruning twigs and small branches, like secateurs with very long handles. They are the largest type of manual garden cutting tool. They are usually operated with two hands, and with handles typically between 30 centimetres & 91 centimetres long to give good leverage. Some have telescopic handles which can be extended to a length of two metres, in order to increase leverage and to reach high branches on a tree. The word lopper can be used in the singular or the plural, with precisely the same meaning. The plural form, most common in speech but less so in print, seems to be on the model of a pair of scissors. The name of the tool is derived from the verb "to lop", meaning to cut branches or twigs, which in turn derives from the noun of precisely the same form: a "lop" is a period or session of branch cutting. The noun and verb first appeared in Middle English, but have no known antecedents or cognates in other languages. The main distinction among loppers is between bypass and anvil types.
