L’histoire
A chapter is a 'little head' — the heading over a section of text. Spanish keeps a fully worn-down twin, cabildo, for a body of canons or councillors.
Parents anglais: capital, capitulate, recapitulate

La famille latine
CAPUT, CAPIT-· head
Classical CAPUT survived in Spanish, French and Italian only as the 'head' of things — cabo 'end, cape', chef 'chief', capo 'boss' — while the body part itself got new words (Spanish and Portuguese cabeza, cabeça from *CAPITIA; French tête and Italian testa from TESTA 'pot'). Romanian and Catalan never let go: cap is still the head on your shoulders. CAPITĀLE 'main property' gave the most surprising doublet: popular caudal and cheptel, English cattle and chattel, beside learned capital.
