coofn.

Brit.

/kuːf/,

/kʊf/, U.S.

/kuf/, Scottish English

/kuf/

Etymology: Only modern Scots: the form corresponds to an earlier côf , which might be identical with Middle English cofe , now cove n.², slang for ‘a fellow’; but the words show little agreement in sense. Identity with Scots coffe, also cofe, coif ‘merchant, hawker’, has also been suggested, but here the phonology presents difficulty.

Scottish.

A dull spiritless fellow; one somewhat obtuse in sense and sensibility.
