Etymology[edit]
From Proto-West Germanic *kappā, from Late Latin cappa.
Normally prehistoric *æ was retracted to *a when followed by a geminate and back vowel. Reason for consistent failure of retraction in this word remains unknown. Failure of palatalization and palatal diphthongization is also unexpected.
