|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[handler]], [[tavern-keeper]] (IA.; on the meaning cf. on <b class="b3">ἔμπορος</b>);<br />Derivatives: Sec. adj. = <b class="b3">καπηλικός</b> (A., Com. Adesp., D. H.). Fem. <b class="b3">καπηλίς</b> <b class="b2">fem. merchant, tavern-keepster</b> (Com., pap.), <b class="b3">καπήλισσα</b> (sch.); <b class="b3">καπηλεῖον</b> [[shop]], [[tavern]] (Att.); <b class="b3">καπηλικός</b> [[belonging to a κάπηλος]] (Pl., Arist.; Chantraine Ét. sur le vocab. gr. 120); <b class="b3">καπηλεύω</b> [[drive a pretty trade]] (IA.) with <b class="b3">καπηλεία</b> [[pretty trade]] (Pl., Arist.) and <b class="b3">καπηλευτικός</b> = <b class="b3">καπηλικός</b> (Ph Lg. 842d)<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: One considers derivation from <b class="b3">κάπη</b> [[crib]], [[manger]], assuming that the word could mean [[chest]] ("who sells from a chest"; diff. Prellwitz and H.). It could also be a loan; for which one compares Lat. [[caupō]] [[innkeeper]] etc. S. W.-Hofmann s. v. Fur. 257 considers Hitt. [[happar]] [[purchase]], [[price]]. As there is no etym., the word will be Pre-Greek; the suffix occurs in Pre-Greek (Fur. 115).
