In summary

17th century, from French être capot (“not having won any trick in a card game”, as in German schwarz sein). The further origin is uncertain, though it probably stems from a figurative usage of capot (“hood”); Pfeiffer suggests an image of "a hood pulled over one's head and face" > "restrained and unable to perform actions" (DWDS). Compare Dutch kapot.
