Rhymes: -ejɾɐ, (Portugal) -ɐjɾɐ Etymology: Uncertain. There are various theories on the etymology: * from Old Tupi kopûera, from kó (“clearing”) + pûera (“that once was”) * from Old Tupi ka'apûera, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + pûera (“that once was”) * from Old Tupi ka'apaũ, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + paũ (“round”) Both Tupi words refer to lands that used to be cleared by the Tupis for agriculture and to which slaves would escape. * from the root kupura (to play) in the Ki-Kongo language. * from capão (“capon”) + -eira, from a supposed resemblance between capoeira and cockfighting. The spelling of this word and its derived terms were likely influenced by Etymology 1.

There are various theories on the etymology:\n* from Old Tupi kopûera, from kó (“clearing”) + pûera (“that once was”)\n* from Old Tupi ka'apûera, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + pûera (“that once was”)\n* from Old Tupi ka'apaũ, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + paũ (“round”)\nBoth Tupi words refer to lands that used to be cleared by the Tupis for agriculture and to which slaves would escape.\n* from the root kupura (to play) in the Ki-Kongo language.\n* from capão (“capon”) + -eira, from a supposed resemblance between capoeira and cockfighting.\nThe spelling of this word and its derived terms were likely influenced by Etymology 1.",
