Definition of coop up in English English dictionary: To confine in a restricted place or situation

Puffing and panting, we plodded on until within about a mile of the harbor we came upon a sight that brought us all up standing.; confine in or as if in a coop; "she coops herself up in the library all day"; confine in or as if in a coop; "she coops herself up in the library all day
