The word "loopshaped" is a compound word that combines two elements: "loop" and "shaped".
The term "loop" has its roots in Middle English as "loupe", meaning a loop or curl in a line, and it can be traced back to the Old English word "hleapan", meaning "to run, leap, or hop". The English word "loop" has been used to describe a curved or circular shape since the 14th century.
The second element, "shaped", comes from the Old English word "scieppan", meaning "to create" or "to form". Over time, it evolved into the Middle English word "shape" and has retained its meaning of forming or giving a particular configuration to something.
