Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English capital, borrowed partly from Old French capital and partly from Latin capitālis (of the head) (in sense “head of cattle”), from caput (head) (cap) + -ālis. Use in trade and finance originated in Medieval economies when a common but expensive transaction involved trading heads of cattle. The noun is from the adjective.
