Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish çapato, of unknown origin shared with French sabot and savate, Italian ciabatta (whence chapata), Catalan sabata f, Portuguese sapato and Arabic سَبَّاط (sabbāṭ). Possibly from a close relative of Tatar чабата (çabata, “overshoes”) or Ottoman Turkish چاپوت (çaput, çapıt, “patchwork, tatters”), from Ottoman Turkish چاپمق (çapmak, “to slap on”), or of Iranian origin, cognate with modern Persian چپت (čapat, “a kind of traditional leather shoe”).
