CAPITULATED Meaning and Definition

1. Capitulated: (verb)

   Capitulated refers to the act of surrendering or yielding to an opponent or to a particular demand or condition. It involves giving up resistance or acknowledging defeat, often following negotiations or in response to overwhelming pressure. The term originates from the Latin word "capitulum," meaning "chapter," which alludes to the notion that when surrendering, individuals or groups effectively close a chapter of resistance or defiance.

   The act of capitulating can occur in various contexts, including military conflicts, negotiations, business transactions, or personal relationships. In warfare, it typically denotes when a besieged force or city submits to the victorious enemy, often resulting in the cessation of fighting and the imposition of terms or conditions by the victor. In negotiations or business dealings, it suggests accepting the terms proposed by one party, typically when previous attempts to reach an agreement or compromise have failed. On a personal level, capitulation can refer to relinquishing one's convictions or principles in the face of overwhelming opposition or pressure.

   Capitulating often involves a sense of submission or resignation, acknowledging the superiority, authority, or control of another party. It can be a conscious decision made by an individual or group to avoid further conflict, seek a compromise, or secure some advantages or concessions. However, the act of capitulating may also be viewed negatively, as a sign of weakness, lack of resilience, or compromise of fundamental values.

Etymology of CAPITULATED

The word "capitulated" comes from the Latin verb "capitulare", which is derived from the noun "capitulum" meaning "little head" or "chapter". In ancient Rome, when surrendering, a defeated commander would agree to the terms of capitulation by literally "capitulating" by nodding or bowing their head. Over time, "capitulate" came to mean surrendering or yielding to an opponent or authority, figuratively bowing one's head. The term has since evolved to generally refer to giving in, submitting, or yielding under certain conditions or demands.
