a chapter of accidents

Origin

Middle English: from Old French chapitre, from Latin capitulum, diminutive of caput 'head'.

Latin capitulum literally meant ‘little head’ from caput, but could also be used to mean, among other things, ‘a heading, a section of writing, a division of a book’. This is the origin of our word chapter, though the immediate source was Old French chapitre. If you want chapter and verse for a statement or piece of information, you want to be given an exact reference or authority for it. The phrase originally referred to the numbering of passages in the Bible. See also capital
