    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 a skeleton catacomb and are confronted with the living memory that you, too, are temporary.
