Etymology
The origin is uncertain. See Prakrit 𑀘𑀧𑁆𑀧𑁆 (capp) for more.
Perhaps borrowed from Munda; however, the Munda derivations found in literature are based on an interpretation of चप् (cap) as originally meaning "to grind down", while "to soothe" seems to be the original meaning.
Not related to Vedic Sanskrit चप्य (capya, “a kind of sacrificial vessel”).
