🦸The Origins: Why Is It Called a Cape Anyway?
Let’s rewind history! A cape is basically a piece of cloth that drapes over your shoulders like a stylish hug from behind 🤗. But where does the name come from? Back in Latin times (yes, we’re going *that* far back), they called it “cappa,” meaning cloak or hooded garment. Over centuries, it evolved into our beloved English word "cape." So next time you see someone rocking one, just think—you’re witnessing thousands of years of linguistic evolution wrapped around their necks! 🕰️
