cabeza

/kaˈbeθa/ · A1 · noun · f

head

cabeza — head

🧠 From Latin caput (head) — same root as captain, chapter and cap

Latin caput became capitia, then cabeza: the p softened to b. English kept the root in captain (head of a crew), capital (head city) and cap (worn on the head). Also means mind: tener buena cabeza = to have a good head.
