1. capit- "head" => capsize.
capsize 翻船

可能来自词根cap, 头,见captain,拼写受size俗化。即头往下栽的。

capsize (v.)
1780 (transitive); 1792 (intransitive), a nautical word of obscure origin, perhaps (as Skeat suggests) from Spanish capuzar "to sink by the head," from cabo "head," from Latin caput (see capitulum). For sense, compare French chavirer "to capsize, upset," faire capot "capsize;" Provençal cap virar "to turn the head." Related: Capsized; capsizing.
