Etymologie (Englisch)

Geerbt von Mittelenglisch: caboche

Verwandt mit Altfranzösisch: cabasser

In summary

From Middle English caboche, cabage (“cabbage”; “a certain fish”), a borrowing from Anglo-Norman caboche (“head”), a northern variant of caboce, of uncertain origin. Some authorities derive it from Latin caput (“head”), others from ca- (said to be an expressive prefix) + boce (“hump; bump”) (whence English boss).
