cabo
/ˈkabo/ · A2 · noun · m
end
🪢 From Latin caput (head): the head-end of a thing, like English cape.
Cabo comes from Latin caput, head, the same root as English cape (a headland, where land ends) and cap. The head is the tip, so cabo is the end or leftover stub. Al cabo = at the end; llevar a cabo = carry to the end, i.e. carry out.
