Étymologie (Anglais)

Unadapted borrowing from French chef (from the positions of chef d'office and chef de cuisine), from Old French chief (“head, leader”) (English chief), from Vulgar Latin capus (“head”) (from which also captain, chieftain), from Latin caput (“head”) (possibly related to English cap (“head covering”)).
Doublet of cape, capo, caput, and chief through Latin, and head and Howth through Proto-Indo-European.
