Etymology
Chapel comes from the Latin cappa meaning 'cloak' and the later cappella 'little cloak' because people kept a saint's small cloak in a special room and that room became a place for worship. Think of a cape, a kind of cloak, to remember this, and that's why a chapel is a small building or room used for prayer.
