caplecapuln.

Forms: α. Middle English capel, Middle English–1500s capil, Middle English capylle, Middle English–1500s capill, 1500s capyl, Middle English–1600s caple. β. Middle English–1800s capul, Middle English capulle, Middle English–1500s capull. In Drayton cauple.

Etymology: Middle English capel , -il , -yl , -ul , corresponds to Icelandic kapall (for kapal-r ) nag, hack, mare; also to Irish capall , capull horse, mare, Gaelic capall mare, the relations between which are uncertain; the ultimate source is probably Latin caballus horse, hack. See also caball n., and its variants. Not in Old Irish (Windisch): Manx has cabbyl, Welsh ceffyl (Davies, not in Pughe), Cornish cevil, kevil, keffyl (also in place names as Nankevil, Penkevil), Breton caval (in Lagadeuc's Catholicon 1499, and in Rostrenen 1732, not in Legonidec). These forms point to no common Celtic source, but to separate adoption < Latin, Norman French, and perhaps English. The Irish capall was evidently directly < Latin caballus. The Icelandic word is chiefly in ecclesiastical documents after 13th cent., and may be directly < Latin, or perhaps immediately through Irish. The immediate source of the Middle English word is not determined.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈcaple.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

1. A horse: in Middle English chiefly poetical; now only dialect.
