Literature | Cap-a-pie The general etymology is the French cap pied, but the French phrase is de pied en cap. "Armed at all points exactly cap-a-pie." Shakespeare: Hamlet, i. 2. "I am courtier, cap-a-pe." Shakespeare: Winter's Tale, iv. 3. We are told that cap pie is Old French, but it would be desirable to give a quotation from some old French author to verify this assertion. I have hunted in vain for the purpose. Again, is pie Old French for pied? This is not a usual change. The usual change would be pied into pie. The Latin might be De capi te ad pedem. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
