The Latin root that most closely means 'head' is capit-. One derivative in Latin is the adjective 'capitalis', which means 'of or pertaining to the head'. Another way of saying death sentence is capital punishment. In fact, the standard form of capital punishment in ancient Rome was beheading.

The Latin word for "root" is radix, which is the source of such English words as radical, eradicate ("to root out") and radish.
