Capitulation was originally the negotiation that led to one side surrendering, hence the meaning of capitulation as surrender. But to recapitulate is to have the negotiation again, or kind of re-discuss, which is where we get the word recap.
I just went down a fun little rabbit hole for this only a few weeks ago, glad I got to regurgitate it!
Now do "uncouth" ๐ค๐ค๐ผ
Oh that's so awesome!
I was thinking about the word in portuguese "Recapitular" which sounds kinda like "Rechaptering" but has the meaning of recap.
So I thought about "Capitular" (sounds like "Chaptering"). And, since recap means to "tell again is short form," maybe "Capitular" could mean "To tell for the first time" or even "To write/define chapters". Which is interesting even if not actually used.
