Italian word
capo
cape, headland (geography); also boss/chief
Looks like
cape / cap / captain
cape = geographical headland; also a garment; captain
⚠️ The trap
In geography 'capo' = cape (correct). But 'capo' also means boss, head, or chief. 'Il capo' at a restaurant is the head chef. 'Capo di Buona Speranza' = Cape of Good Hope. Context is everything.
To say "cape = geographical headland; also a garment; captain" in Italian:
capo / Capo
"capo" in English means:
cape, headland (geography); also boss/chief
Example
"Abbiamo fatto il giro del Capo Circeo in barca."
"We went around Cape Circeo by boat."
