Morphology

poop + stoop

The noun-noun combination 'poop' (feces) + 'stoop' (small porch/steps) transparently denotes a stoop associated with poop — i.e., a place for dealing with animal/human feces. This is straightforward compositional logic that a B1 learner who knows both words can infer, so the expression is transparent despite being informal or regional.

Etymology

The noun poop stoop may come from the word stoop, which means the small steps or porch at a house, and poop for dog poop. That's why poop stoop came to mean 'a place to put or clean dog poop'.
