Etymologie (Engels)

17th century, from Middle Low German kappen, from Middle Dutch cappen (“to chop”), perhaps a borrowing from Romansch and from Medieval Latin cappare (“to cut off”), from Vulgar Latin *cappo, from Latin capo (“castrated male chicken”). Compare Alemannic German (Alsatian) kchapfen (“to chop, mince”).
