Capitasti

/ˌkæp.ɪˈtɑ.sti/ verb

Definition

Second-person singular past tense of capitare in Latin; meaning 'you headed' or 'you led.'

Etymology

From Latin capitare in second-person singular past tense. This is a fully inflected Latin form rather than an English word.

Kelly Says

When you're reading medieval Latin documents, you'll encounter fully-inflected verb forms like this. It's a reminder that English borrowed vocabulary from Latin but completely abandoned Latin's complex verb conjugation system.
