- 1（利率）有上限的、封頂的（可降，不可再升）
If you borrow money at a capped rate of interest, the bank sets a ceiling: the rate is not allowed to climb above that line, even if other rates in the country go up. It is allowed to come down. So capped here does not mean someone put a hat on the loan; it means the cost of borrowing has a lid. Banks use this when they sell a variable-rate loan but want to promise you will not be hit by a sudden jump. Though actually, capped is used much more widely for any upper limit — a capped price, a capped number of people — but in this money sense it is a set phrase you will see in loan papers and bank ads. The opposite idea is uncapped, where there is no such lid.
From the word’s history
cap + -ed.
由 cap 加上 -ed 組成。
組成cap (an upper limit; a lid on a number) + -ed (makes a describing word).
同家族的字
- capthe same cap that means an upper limit — a lid that will not let the rate go higher
