Nguồn gốc từ

ine-proine-pro From Middle English catel, from catel (personal property), from - (compare cheptel, chetel, chatel, also English chattel) from capitāle, from Latin capitālis (of the head) (whence also capital, from caput (head) + -alis (-al)). For the sense evolution, compare pecuniary and fee. Also compare поголо́вье (total number of livestock) from голова́ (head). capital chattel.
