cable

cable: [13] The ultimate source of cable is late Latin capulum ‘lasso’, a derivative of the verb capere ‘take, seize’, either directly or perhaps via Arabic habl. In Proven?al, capulum became cable, which produced the Old French form chable: so English must either have borrowed the word straight from Proven?al, or from *cable, an unrecorded Anglo-Norman variant of the Old French word.
=> capture, heave
