語源はキャップ、ハットと同じ。単語は、フランス語の守護聖人聖マーティンから来て、吹雪の中でその夜は乞食が凍って見ることに耐えることができなかった、寒さから逃れるために乞食に半分をカットダウンマントを着用され、彼の善良さをテストするためにイエスの化身のために、この乞食を考えていなかった、聖マーティンは、テスト、聖人の最終的な列聖に耐えることに成功し、マントのこの半分はまた、教会に保存されている聖遺物となっています。

chapel

chapel: [13] Chapel has a very specific source: it was originally applied to the shrine built to preserve the cloak (late Latin cappa) of St Martin of Tours as a holy relic. The diminutive form of cappa was cappella, and this came to be applied to the building itself, gradually being broadened out subsequently to any moderately sized place of worship. The word reached English via Old French chapele. The church functionary who guarded St Martin’s cloak was known by the derivative term cappellānus, source of English chaplain [12].

chapel (n.)

early 13c., from Old French chapele (12c., Modern French chapelle), from Medieval Latin cappella "chapel, sanctuary for relics," literally "little cape," diminutive of Late Latin cappa "cape" (see cap (n.)); by tradition, originally in reference to the sanctuary in France in which the miraculous cape of St. Martin of Tours, patron saint of France, was preserved; meaning extended in most European languages to "any sanctuary." (While serving Rome as a soldier deployed in Gaul, Martin cut his military coat in half to share it with a ragged beggar. That night, Martin dreamed Christ wearing the half-cloak; the half Martin kept was the relic.)
