What are words that have the prefix cap in it and mean take?

You're looking for words with the prefix "cap" that mean "take." The prefix "cap" comes from the Latin word "capere," which means "to take" or "to seize." Here are some words with that meaning:

* Capture: To take or seize something, especially by force.

* Captivate: To attract and hold someone's attention completely.

* Caption: To provide a title or explanation for a picture or illustration.

* Captive: A person who is held prisoner.

* Capacity: The ability to hold or contain something.

Important note: While the prefix "cap" does come from "capere," its meaning in some words is more nuanced than simply "take." For example, "capacity" refers to the *ability* to hold, not necessarily the act of taking.
