* from Old Tupi ka'apûera, from ka'a (“woods; forest”) + pûera (“that once was”)

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.
