Etymology
1. c.1374, from L. captivus, from captus, pp. of capere "to take, hold, seize" (see capable). Replaced O.E. hæftling, from hæft "taken, seized." Captivity is from c.1325. Captivate "fascinate, charm" is from 1535.
2. Inherited from Middle English captif; derived from Latin captīvus, probably through a borrowing from a Middle French intermediate. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kap- (“seize, hold”).
3. Doublet of caitiff.
