In geography, a cape is a headland, peninsula or promontory extending into a body of water, usually a sea. [1] A cape usually represents a marked change in trend of the coastline, [2] often making them important landmarks in sea navigation.
From French cape, from Old Occitan capa, from Late Latin cappa (“cape”). The second sense ("superhero") is metonymic from the fact that many superheroes wear capes.
Cape Town is the country's second-largest city by population, after Johannesburg, and the largest city in the Western Cape. [15] The city is part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. The city is known for its harbour, its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, and for landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point.
A cape is a clothing accessory or a sleeveless outer garment of any length that hangs loosely and connects either at the neck or shoulders. They usually cover the back, shoulders, and arms.
