Gothic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Vulgar Latin *capillΔre, from capillus. Possibly (according to Dennis Green) borrowed from Latin by Goths serving in the Roman army; Roman-style short, military haircuts would have been a novelty to them to be referred to with a loanword (contrasted with native ππΊπ°π±π°π½ (skaban)).[1]
Verb
[edit]πΊπ°ππΉπ»π»ππ½ β’ (kapillΕn)
- to get a haircut
