Where this word comes from

Uncertain, perhaps from cap + -oter, influenced by Spanish cabo (“cape”). Sometimes claimed to be derived from Italian explorer Sebastian Cabot (c. 1474–1557) or John Cabot (c. 1450–1500), but the Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales describes this derivation as unsupported by the chronology.
