smart hoopn.

Brit. /smɑːt ˈhuːp/, U.S. /ˈsmɑrt ˌhup/

Etymology: Apparently < either smart adj. or smart n.1 + hoop n.1, although the semantic motivation for the first element is not clear (perhaps ‘neat’ or ‘tight’). Perhaps compare Swedish smärt slender, slim, Danish smert , smært slim, narrow, slender, thin, both probably ultimately < the same base as smart v.1; perhaps compare also smartle v.
Now rare.
A small hoop made from hazel rods, used in making small tubs, etc.
