Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

For more than two years unattested, hence:

There are citations in Du Cange, e.g. "CAPITILAVIUM, Dominica Palmarum. Ordo Romanus : Dominica Indulgentiæ, quæ diversis vocabulis distinguitur, id est, Dies Palmarum, sive Florum, atque Ramorum, Osanna, Pascha petitum, sive Competentium et Capitilavium" and "Glor. posth. S. Rosæ tom. 5. Aug. pag. 1009. col. 2 : Perfidis nostri seculi iconoclastis hoc caput Capitilavium esto." Lewis and Short says "a washing of the head (late Lat.), Isid. Orig. 6, 18, 14." But we should also explain that some New Latinists apparently have appropriated the term to refer to shampoo.--Urszag (talk) 09:06, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
