Uncertain origin. Possible origins include:
* Latin capitulum;
* Arabic مَقْبِض (maqbiḍ, “handle”), with the ma- being confused with the Portuguese feminine indefinite article uma;
* Arabic قَابِض (qābiḍ, “tongs, clamp”);
* cavidado, past participle of cavidar (“to protect”), with the suggestion that coat hangers were used to protect clothes from dust.
