† CHAPEL

Despite the similar 'ch' sound that chapel shares with church🔍 it has a completely separate etymology.  From Old French chapele, in turn from Latin capella, cappella  = a chapel or sanctuary for relics, that literally translates to "little cape," (diminutive of Latin cappa =hooded cloak/ cape;  PIE🔍 root kaput = head)

       The cape is either a reference to the Latin capella ias it relates to the canopy, hood or covering of the altar when Mass is said,  (caput= head so essential head covering) Or it's a reference to the French sanctuary that preserved the miraculous cape of St. Martin of Tours, (patron saint of France; Martin, a Roman soldier, is said to have cut his military coat in half to share it with a beggar and then dreamed that night that Christ was wearing the half-cloak he gave away.)​
