Lexical development traced from the Tamil root:
E. kaputt < G. kaputt ‘destroyed, ruined, lost’, the sense is a misunderstanding of an expression from G. capot machen a card game < F. faire capot ‘to win all the tricks in piquet, to make a bonnet (The sense reversal might have come about because if someone wins all the tricks the other player has to lose them) < capot ‘cover, bonnet’ < cape < Span. capa < La.Lat. cappa ‘hooded cloak’ < capitulare ‘headdress’ < Lat. caput ‘head’ < kuhput < kaput- < Tamil kappu
