    capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for “hood,” and by synecdoche means “monks” (who wear hoods)

    Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.

      This is correct. There’s actually a little plaque that has this explanation on it before you go into the crypt.

      It’s this funny little Latin lesson before you descend into skeleton catacomb are confronted with the living memory that you too are temporary.
