Italian [Cappuchin, Cappuccino espresso (named after its color is similar to that of Cappuchin)] * See capuchin.

The history of the word cappuccino exemplifies how words can develop new senses because of resemblances that the original coiners of the terms might no t have dreamed possible. The Capuchin order of friars, established after 1525, played an important role in bringing Catholicism back to Reformation Europe. Its Italian name came from the long, pointed cowl, or cappuccino, derived from cappuccio, “hood,” that was worn as part of the order's habit. The French version of cappuccino was capuchin (now capucin ), from which came English Capuchin. The name of this pious order was later used as the name (first recorded in English in 1785) for a type of monkey with a tuft of black, cowllike hair. In Italian cappuccino went on to develop another sense, “espresso coffee mixed or topped with steamed milk or cream, ” so called because the color of the coffee resembled the color of the habit of a Capuchin friar. The first use of cappuccino in English is recorded in 1948 in a work about San Francisco.

The history of cappuccino is a good illustration of how words can develop new meanings because of some similarities, and the creators of these words may never have dreamed that these similarities are possible. After the establishment of 1525, the Gabonese mission played an important role in bringing Catholicism back to Europe after the religious reform. Its Italian name comes from a long, pointed hooded cloak, or cappuccino, and the word comes from coppuccio, which means "hood". The hooded cloak is part of the clothes worn by this group of monks. Cappuccino became Capuchin (now capuchin) in French, and capuchin in English came from this French word. The name of this devout Sect was later used as the name of a donkey with a black cloak and hair (first recorded in English in 1785). In Italian, cappuccino then developed a new meaning, meaning "espresso mixed with or added with boiled milk or cream," so called because the color of this coffee is similar to the color of the clothes worn by the Gabonese missionaries. The first use of Cappuccino in English is recorded in a book about San Francisco in 1948.
