Where this word comes from

Unknown. Perhaps derived from Old French eschoppe (“booth, stall”) or from Middle English schoppe, from Proto-Germanic *skup- (“shed, stall”), and under the influence of cabana (“cabin”). Probably also related to Spanish chopa (“pilot's cabin aboard a boat”) and to Basque txopa (“stern”), themselves either from Latin puppis (“stern”) or borrowed from Galician-Portuguese. Cognate of Portuguese choupana, probably also related to the Spanish of the Canary isles chupenco (“a poor house”).
