Word origin

The word 'capitalized' comes from the verb 'capitalize,' which has its origins in Latin 'capitālis' meaning 'of the head,' from 'caput' meaning 'head.' In English, the term was first used in the 1760s with the financial sense of 'convert into capital.' Later, it evolved to include the meaning of writing with a capital letter.
