Etymology

Inherited from Latin: capto

In summary

From Late Latin cattāre (“look at, see”), from Latin captāre (“strive to see, strive to catch with one's eyes”). Compare Galician, Asturian, and Spanish catar, Doublet of captar, a borrowing from Latin. Meaning “to find” possibly influenced by Venetan catar.
