>>"Cope and stick " refers to the joint formed with the shaper/router by forming the edge of the rail to fit with a glue joint to the end of the stile.

I didn't argue the term just presented the fact that the term cope and stick which is one of three joints used in frame making is an older yet correct term. Modern times seam to have presented rail and stile as the more common term. In fact searching for cope and stick router bits can be difficult as they are referred to as Rail and stile by many manufactures.
The Stile isn't always the vertical piece, the stile is made with one joint cut. IE only one edge receives the joint cut. The rail however receives two joint cuts along the pieces end grain on either end of the board. By using the original term the coped piece sticks into the stick. Cope = rail, Stick = stile. No matter the direction of the panels orientation the definition is the same.
