deception (n.)

early 15c., decepcioun, “act of misleading, a lie, a falsehood,” from Old French déception (13c., decepcion) or directly from Late Latin deceptionem (nominative deceptio) “a deceiving,” noun of state or action from past-participle stem of Latin decipere “to ensnare, take in, beguile, cheat,” from de “from” or pejorative (see de-) + capere “to take,” from PIE root *kap- “to grasp.”

From mid-15c. as “state of being deceived; error, mistake;” from 1794 as “artifice, cheat, that which deceives.”

fraud (n.)

mid-14c., “criminal deception” (mid-13c. in Anglo-Latin); from Old French fraude “deception, fraud” (13c.), from Latin fraudem (nominative fraus) “a cheating, deceit,” of persons “a cheater, deceiver,” of uncertain origin. Connections have been proposed to Sanskrit dhruti- “deception; error.”

Meaning “a fraudulent production, something intended to deceive” is from 1650s. The meaning “impostor, deceiver, pretender; humbug” is attested from 1850. Pious fraud (1560s) is properly “deception practiced for the sake of what is deemed a good purpose;” colloquially used as “person who talks piously but is not pious at heart.”

capacity (n.)

early 15c., “ability to contain; size, extent;” also “ability” in a legal, moral, or intellectual sense, from Old French capacité “ability to hold” (15c.), from Latin capacitatem (nominative capacitas) “breadth, capacity, capability of holding much,” noun of state from capax (genitive capacis) “able to hold much,” from capere “to take,” from PIE root *kap- “to grasp.”

Sense of “power to store electricity” is from 1777; industrial sense of “ability to produce” is from 1931. Meaning “power of containing a certain quantity” is from 1885, hence “largest audience a place can hold” (1908).
