capitalize
Begin with majuscule
Capitalize has two main threads.
One involves letters: to capitalize is to write with an uppercase letter, or to begin a word that way.
The other involves money and advantage: to capitalize a business is to fund it with capital; to capitalize on an opportunity is to exploit it for gain.
