- cape (n.1) "sleeveless cloak, circular covering for the shoulders," a Spanish style, late 16c., from French cape, from Spanish capa, from Late Latin cappa "hooded cloak" (see cap (n.), which is a doublet). Late Old English had capa, cæppe "cloak with a hood," directly from Late Latin.
- cape (n.2) "promontory, piece of land jutting into a sea or lake," late 14c., from Middle French cap "cape; head," from Latin caput "headland, head" (from PIE root *kaput- "head").
