Definition
Past tense of estop; prevented from making a legal argument because your earlier words or actions contradict it.
Etymology
From estop (to bar or prevent by estoppel) + -ed past tense marker. The verb estop emerged in English legal terminology in the 15th century, borrowed from Old French estopper.
Kelly Says
Courts use estoppel as a fairness tool—if you misled someone and they acted based on that, you can't flip the script. It's how law enforces the idea that your words have consequences.
