Etymology

Probably from Proto-Turkic *kap- (“to snatch, take; to bite”)[1]. Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (kap-, “to close, contact, catch”)[2]. Also compare Proto-Indo-European *kap- (“to seize, grab”); the similarity may reflect an onomatopoeic origin of both stems.[2] Compare Turkish kapan (“trap, snare”), Russian капка́н (kapkán) (borrowed from Turkic), Crimean Tatar qapqan, and Georgian ხაფანგი (xapangi, “trap”).

Noun

капка • (kapka)

  1. trap (device designed to catch animals)
