Etymology

The term 'cape' originates from the Latin word 'cappa', which means 'cloak' or 'hooded garment'. This word has evolved through Old French before entering the English language, where it became associated with a loose outer garment worn over the shoulders. Caping has historical significance, being popular in various cultures for protection against the elements and as a status symbol. Over time, the fashion industry embraced caping, integrating it into modern styles and theatrical costumes. Today, it symbolizes both grandeur and nostalgia, often seen on runways and red carpets.
