A cap-wearing person; slang term for someone who wears a cap, or an informal name for a captain in some contexts.
From 'cap' (a type of hat) plus the diminutive or informal suffix '-ie' or '-y,' creating a casual, affectionate version of the word.
This is a delightfully informal word that shows how English speakers add '-ie' to almost anything to make it sound friendly and casual—similar to how 'doggie' comes from 'dog,' 'cappie' turns a simple hat into something more personal.
