Derivatives: Diminut. καπρίδιον, - ίσκος (Com.); f. κάπραινα of a lewd woman (Com.); καπρία f. `the ovary, the rutting sap of the sow' (Arist.; cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 43); καπρών `pig-sty' (Delos III^a); ( σῦς) κάπριος = ( σῦς) κάπρος (Il., A. R.); κάπριος `with the form of a boar' (Hdt. 3, 59), κάπρειος `belonging to a boar' (Nonn.). Denomin. verbs: καπράω `go to the boar', of a rutting sow (Arist.), also καπριάω (Arist. v. l., Ar. Byz.), on the formation Schwyzer 731f.; καπρίζω `id.' (Arist.); καπρῴζομαι `rut' of the boar (Skiras Com.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Agrees with the Italo-Germanic word for `(he-)goat', Lat. caper, Umbr. cabru `caprum', Germ., e. g. ONo. hafr. An uncertain trace of the word in Celtic is supposed in Gallo-Rom. * cabrostos `honeysuckle, privet'. The newly formed τράγος has made the old name of the goat, IE. *kápros, free for other services; the word was probably first used appositively to σῦς (s. above). Lat. (Ital.) aper `boar' took the vowel of caper, but is further unrelated. - Further Pok. 529, W.-Hofmann s. caper (and aper). Doubtful combinations in Wagner KZ 75, 72ff. M. Brind, Les zoonymes..., 91-115 `qui vale, happe' cognate with κάπτω, which seems to me an improbable etymology; he meaning of the root seems not to point in this direction, Pok. 527.
