Definition capital

Etymology

From Middle English capital, borrowed from Latin capit?lis (�of the head�) (in sense �head of cattle�), from caput (�head�) (English cap). Use in trade and finance originated in Medieval economies when a common but expensive transaction involved trading heads of cattle.

Compare chattel and kith and kine (�all one�s possessions�), which also use �cow� to mean �property�.
