chepn.

Brit.

/tʃɛp/, U.S.

/tʃɛp/

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: chip n.¹

Etymology: Probably a variant of chip n.¹ Much earlier currency of this form in this meaning is probably implied by post-classical Latin cheppa share-beam of a plough (from 13th cent. in British sources; in 14th cent. also as sheppa ), variant of chippa , chippum (from 13th cent. in British sources; < chip n.¹).It is unlikely that there is any immediate connection with Middle French cep piece of wood supporting the ploughshare (a1408; in modern French regional use occasionally chep ) < classical Latin cippus cippus n. In Anglo-Norman the corresponding word cep is found only in rather distantly related meanings, denoting stocks (for restraint), the stock of a plant, or in related legal use.

Chiefly English regional (southern). Now rare (chiefly historical).

The share-beam of a plough; esp. a horizontal beam forming the sole of a turnwrest plough, to the end of which the ploughshare is fixed. Cf. chip n.¹
