Etimologia (anglès)

From Old Galician-Portuguese queixada (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), from Vulgar Latin *capseāta, derivative of *capseus (“chin”) (whence Galician queixo), itself a derivative of Latin capsa (“box”), from capiō (“capture, take”), from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂p- (“to take, seize, catch, grasp”). Cognate with Portuguese queixada and Spanish quijada.
