A '''cap''' is a flat [[headgear]], usually with a visor. Caps have crowns that fit very close to the head. They made their first appearance as early as 3200&nbsp;BC.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Who Invented The Hat? - Amazing Hat History|url=https://fashionablehats.com/blogs/hat-articles/invented-hat|access-date=2020-11-17|website=Fashionable Hats|language=en}}</ref> The origin of the word "cap" comes from the Old French word "chapeau" which means "head covering". Over time, the word has evolved and changed its meaning, but it still retains its association with headwear. Caps typically have a visor, or no brim at all.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2019-07-26|title=Cap vs. Hat: Differentiating the Meaning of Different Headgear|url=https://www.typingadventure.com/cap-vs-hat/|access-date=2020-11-17|website=Typing Adventure|language=en-US|archive-date=2020-11-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124195940/https://www.typingadventure.com/cap-vs-hat/|url-status=dead}}</ref> They are popular in casual and informal settings, and are seen in sports and fashion.<ref name=":0" />  They are typically designed for warmth, and often incorporate a visor to block sunlight from the eyes.
