词源

From Spanish cahíz, from Old Spanish cafiz, from Andalusian Arabic and Arabic قَفِيز (qafīz, “qafiz”), from Aramaic קְפִיזָא and Classical Syriac ܩܦܝܙܐ (qəp̄īzā), of uncertain derivation from Egyptian, Akkadian, and similar units. Doublet of qafiz and cafiso. Cognate with Ancient Greek καπίθη (kapíthē).
