I wonder if it is related via cabbage with spanish cabeza (head)?

No, reesetee, now I'll just think of purple cabbage. :)

Actually, uncut cabbage will last for about a month in the fridge. ;)

I like this word because it comes from the same root as cabbage, and the original meaning was "head." It makes me think of a giant cabbage head.

And now I've completely spoiled it for you, c_b.

I always think of this in combination with "ruby," probably because that's how I encountered it the first time.
