chaloupe

Etymology
, of uncertain origin, but probably by apheresis from 🇨🇬, used figuratively. An alternative theory deriving the term from 🇨🇬 appears unlikely, since the Dutch word is attested only much later and the phonetic development is hard to explain; it is more likely that the Dutch term was borrowed from French.

Noun

 * 1)  launch
 * 2) rowing boat, rowboat
