cabeca

Cabeca is a Portuguese word that translates to "head" in English. It is derived from the Latin word "caput," which means the same. In Portuguese, "cabeca" is used to refer to the uppermost part of the human body, which includes the brain, skull, and facial features. It is also used metaphorically to describe the leader or the main part of something. For example, in a company, the "cabeca" would be the CEO or the person in charge. The term can also be used in a more colloquial sense to refer to someone's personality or character, as in "ela tem uma cabeca dura" (she has a strong-willed personality). In Brazilian Portuguese, the term "cabeca" is often used in the phrase "dar cabeca," which means to give up or surrender. This usage is likely derived from the idea of giving up control or direction.
