Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese cabrito (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria). By surface analysis, cabra + -ito. May have originally corresponded to a Vulgar Latin or Late Latin caprītus (attested in Salic Law), from *caprio (“*caprīre”), from Latin caper (which would have normally yielded *cabrido), but was influenced by the Portuguese diminutive suffix -ito (from Late Latin -ittus). Compare Spanish cabrito, Aragonese crabido, crabito, crapito, Catalan and Occitan cabrit, dialectal French chevri.
