цапъ

Old Ruthenian

First attested in the 16th century. Etymology unclear:

Borrowed from Romanian țap, further origin unclear.[1][2] Probably related to Romance languages (compare Italian zappo, dialectal tsappu), ultimately from Latin caper, from Proto-Italic *kapros, from Proto-Indo-European *kápros.[3][4] Compare Albanian cjap.
Less likely inherited from Proto-Slavic *capъ (“goat”), further possibly from Romance languages and Latin as above.[3][4]

Slavic cognates include Polish cap (“ram; goat”), Slovak cap (“goat”), dialectal Czech cap, cáp (“goat”), dialectal Macedonian цап (cap, “goat”), Serbo-Croatian ца̏п / cȁp (“bearded man nickname”), Slovene càp (“uncastrated goat”).
