Etymology

Capricieux is derived from the French noun *caprice*, which entered the language in the 16th century from Italian *capriccio*. *Capriccio* originally meant a “goat dance” or “goat‑like fancy”, coming from *capro* “goat”, itself from Latin *capra* (and ultimately Greek *kapros*). The adjective *capricieux* was formed by attaching the Old French suffix *‑eû* (modern *‑eux*) to *caprice*, giving the sense of someone “whimsical or capricious”.
