chaptern.

Brit. /ˈtʃaptə/, U.S. /ˈtʃæptər/
Forms: Middle English cheapitre, Middle English chapitre, Middle English chapitere, chaptire, Middle English–1500s Scottish chaptour, Middle English–1700s chapiter, Middle English chapytur(e, chappytre, chapiltre, chaptur, Middle English–1500s chapytre, 1500s chapyter, chapytour, chapitour, chapiture, ? chapit, Scottish cheptour, 1500s– chapter.
Etymology: A later syncopated form of chapiter n., < Old French chapitre , earlier chapitle < Latin capitulum . diminutive of caput head, used, in ancient Latin, in the senses ‘little head, head of a plant, capital of a column’, and later, those of ‘head-dress of women, chapter of a book, section of a law’. The form chapter appears in Scots in 14th cent., but in English is rare before the 16th; chapiter survived beside it till the middle of the 17th, and is still occasional in the sense ‘capital of a column’. Compare also capitulum n., capitle n., chapitle n., chapiter n., all originally the same word.
1.
a. A main division or section of a book (whether the latter is an entire literary work, or one of the divisions or parts of a large work). Esp. used of the main divisions of the books of the Bible. Cf. book n. 4.

a. A duly constituted general meeting or assembly of the canons of a collegiate or cathedral church, of the members of any monastic or religious order, or of an order of knights, for consultation and transaction of the affairs of their order.[‘From the last-mentioned usage (the capitula of a monastic rule) coupled with the practice of reading a capitulum or chapter of the Rule, or (as was St. Augustine's practice) of the Scriptures, to the assembled canons or monks, the assembled canons or monks themselves came to be called in a body the capitulum or chapter, and their meeting-place the chapter-house.’ Dict. Christian Antiq. I. 288/1; cf. Du Cange and Littré. More exactly the name chapter was first transferred to the meeting, and then to those who met. The transference was easy through such expressions as ire or convenire ad capitulum, to go to (the reading of) the capitle or chapter, thus to the meeting.]
