Derived terms
editEtymology 2
editUncertain. There are various theories on the etymology:
- from Old Tupi kopûera, from kó (“clearing”) + pûera (“that once was”)
- from Old Tupi ka'apûera, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + pûera (“that once was”)
- from Old Tupi ka'apaũ, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + paũ (“round”)
Both Tupi words refer to lands that used to be cleared by the Tupis for agriculture and to which slaves would escape.[1][2][3]
- from the root kupura (to play) in the Ki-Kongo language.[4]
- from capão (“capon”) + -eira, from a supposed resemblance between capoeira and cockfighting.[5]
The spelling of this word and its derived terms were likely influenced by Etymology 1.
Noun
editcapoeira f (uncountable)
- capoeira, a martial art developed in Brazil
