Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Borrowed into English in the late 18th century from French, derived from the verb cabrioler meaning 'to caper or leap', originating from Italian capriola ('somersault, wild goat leap'). The term originally referred to a light, two-wheeled, one-horse carriage that bounced lively on its springs, and eventually evolved in the 20th century to designate automobiles with a folding top.
