Etymology

According to Nishanyan, from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (çapağul, “raid”), a derivation from Proto-Turkic *čap- (“to beat, hit; attack; rob”), the same root of چاپمق (çapmak, “to raid, pillage”), with the same suffix found in قره‌غول (karağol, “patrol, sentry”). See also چاپقی (çapkı, “marauding raid”) and چاپقین (çapkın, “vagabond, scapegrace”).
