The noun " precipitation " comes from the verb " precipitate " ( in Meteorology, to fall down as condensed vapour ), which is derived from the Latin words " praecipitatus ", past participle of " praecipitare " from " praeceps " ( headlong ) from " prae- " ( before ) + " caput " ( head ). Also note the present participle " praecipitans " from that same root verb in Latin. Thus spake my trusted pal for almost 50 years, " Funk & Wagnalls Standard University Dictionary, Canadian Edition".
