What Does This Mean In Latin?

Question

mortuus caput capitis

Answer 1

Means someone who did not know Latin was playing around with an online translator.

Mortuus is an adjective in masculine singular nominative, meanning 'dead' It is the first form of the word you see in a dictionary site.

Caput is a noun in nominative singular,but it is neuter.
Capitis is the same noun, but in genitive singular. Dictionary entries generally give the nominative singular of a noun followed by the genitive singular. So if someone looked up Latin for 'Head", he would find 'Caput, capitis'

There is no exact translation of what you have - literally, it is dead (something )head of the head.

If he really wanted to say 'dead head', it would be:

Caput mortuum.

Answer 2

dead head
