The original spelling, capisce, is Italian: the third person singular, present tense of the verb capire (to understand, to know). The slang term came to be spelled both capece and capiche (kah-PEESH), used almost exclusively in a demeaning interrogative form: "Capishe?" (Understand? / Do you understand?).
