May have originally corresponded to a Vulgar Latin or Late Latin caprītus (attested in Salic Law), from *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, French dialectal chevri.
