COUP EN PASSANT

The lead of a plain suit card to promote a low trump sitting over a high trump.

For example:

In the diagram above, with hearts as trumps, North leads a spade. If East discards, South scores the ♥K at once on a ruff. If East prefers to ruff, South discards and makes the ♥K on the last trick. Either way, the ♥K becomes a winner.
