The term was coined by students at Tech's now defunct Extension branch at Bluefield College who later transferred to Blacksburg, bringing the word with them. The word had its origin in "coffer," a legitimate synonym for a strongbox. Some students at Bluefield had access to a coffer there that contained files of old tests and problems, and they soon came to refer to the materials themselves as "coffers." In time, the sound of the word was softened to "coofer," and still later the spelling was changed to "koofer." It is often used as a verb in such constructions as "to coofer a problem."
