You might like to refer to a related discussion [1].

Sorry, I do not see "working tree" discussion there. The discussion on
that quoted thread was about remote-tracking branches, no?

Historically, we used to say "working tree" and "worktree" more or less
interchangeably, and over time we tried to update the documentation to use
"working tree" consistently, even though the latter is still seen in
places like "GIT_WORK_TREE" environment variable (which will _not_
change).

But as far as I recall, we have never referred to the working tree
controlled by a git repository as "working copy".
