In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish cabrito. Analyzable as cabra (“goat”) + -ito; may have originally corresponded to a Vulgar Latin or Late Latin caprītus (attested in Salic Law), as the perfect passive participle of a verb *caprīre (“give birth (of goats)”), from Latin caper (which would have normally yielded *cabrido), but was influenced by the Spanish diminutive suffix -ito (from Late Latin -ittus). Compare Portuguese cabrito, Aragonese crabido, crabito, crapito, Catalan cabrit, Occitan cabrit, dialectal French chevri.
