caupo
Latin
Etymology
Cognate with Ancient Greek κᾰ́πηλος (kápēlos), possibly from Pre-Greek, likely borrowed separately. A derivation of either from Proto-Indo-European *kʷreyh₂- (“to buy”), whence ἐπρῐάμην (epriámēn) as suppletive Aorist of ὠνέομαι (ōnéomai, “to buy”), seems far-fetched. Beekes mentions, Furnee offers Hittite ḫappar (“purchase, price”) as a comparandum, in which case the IE derivation would be *h₃ep-, whence ops (“power”) and Homeric Ancient Greek ἀφνειός (aphneiós, “rich, wealthy”), although also speculative. Gemoll considers a connection to Ancient Greek κάπτω (káptō, “gulp down, snap”). This noun is also masculine.
