Coup d'Etat

the sudden overthrow of a government through unconstitutional means by a part of the state establishment

A coup d'État (pronounced /ku de'ta/), or simply coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government, often through illegal means by a part of the state establishment — mostly replacing just the high-level figures. It is also an example of political engineering. It may or may not be violent in nature. It is different from a revolution, which is staged by a larger group and radically changes the political system through unconstitutional means.

The term is French for "a (sudden) blow (or strike) to a state" (literally, coup, hit, and État, state, always written with a capital É in this meaning). The term coup can also be used in a casual sense to mean a gain in advantage of one nation or entity over another; e.g. an intelligence coup. By analogy, the term is also applied to corporations, etc; e.g. a boardroom coup.

Masterstroke(now that is an obscure word) = un coup de maître Simply because coup is a masculine word. If you write "a coup de maître" that means "with a masterstroke".

Coup d'etat - Literally, "Blow to the State". It means an attack against the state, usually an overthrow of the existing government.

I think the phrase is "coup d'etat", which means overthrowing the government.

"Coup" is a masculine word. So for any masculine noun, you have to use the article "un." If the word was "coupe," then the article would have been "une." Hope this helped!
