约1200年,“书的主要部分”,来自古法语 chapitre(12世纪)“章节(书的),条款(条约的),章节(大教堂的)”,改编自 chapitle,源自晚期拉丁语 capitulum “主要部分,书的章节”,在中世纪拉丁语中也指“教会议会或理事会”,字面意思是“小头”,是拉丁语 caput “头”,也指“领袖,指导,首席人物; 顶峰; 首都; 起源,源泉”,比喻为“生命,生命体; 写作中的分段; 钱的本金”,源自 PIE 词根 *kaput- “头部”。
“社会或组织的地方分支”(1815年)的意义源自教会的意义,“大教堂或学院教堂的教士团体,宗教团体的成员”(14世纪晚期),似乎可以追溯到大教堂教堂的教士团体的召集,期间规则按章节或经文的章节(capitulum)向集会朗读。 “Chapter and verse”(1620年代)的意思是“完全和彻底”,是对经文的引用。
