Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin noun 'recapitulatio', stemming from the verb 'recapitulare' (to restate main points), formed from the prefix 're-' (again) and 'capitulum' (little head, chapter), itself a diminutive of 'caput' (head). It entered English in the mid-16th century, originally used in rhetoric to denote the summarizing of the principal points of an argument.
