capitan
Ship's Spanish leader
Capitan is a Spanish and Italian word for captain, appearing in English mainly in borrowed titles and phrases.
El Capitan names the famous granite cliff in Yosemite.
In historical contexts, capitan appears in military ranks and naval terminology from Spanish colonial periods.
The word retains its foreign flavor in English, unlike the fully naturalized captain.
