Coup en passant is a type of coup in contract
bridge where trump trick(s) are "stolen" by trying to
ruff a card after the player who has the
master trump(s).
Just as the trump coup resembles a direct finesse, except that trumps are not the suit led, so the coup en passant similarly resembles an indirect finesse:
