2316: Capuchin Monks, Capuchin Monkeys,and Cappuccino Apr 20 2021

Capuchin monkeys named like the coffee, and the coffee is named after the Franciscan monks. The name for the monks too were from the hooded cloak (or 'cappa' in Late Latin) which was dark on the bottom and white on the top. Likewise, the white foam on dark coffee shared this resemblance and hence 'cappuccino'. Capuchin monkeys and likewise a certain sort of pigeon were named thus for their natural light-head-dark-body coloring, and also having fur and feathers respectively that looks like a hood somewhat.
