Etymology

Possibly from a Late Latin excapitāre (which meant "decapitate" in its attested form, but the Romance descendants may derive from an unattested sense of "to conclude, finish, reach the end of" which developed later, or possibly "to decrease, diminish"), a derivation of Latin caput, or from capitare, and influenced by capitale. Compare Romanian scăpăta. Also possibly from an alteration of a Vulgar Latin *discapitāre (compare Provençal descaptar).
