caporal [ˌkæpəˈrɑːl]
n a strong coarse dark tobacco [from French tabac du caporal corporal's tobacco, denoting its superiority to tabac du soldat soldier's tobacco] It's possible that the French term "caporal" originally derived from "corporeal" which means "bodily" as in, the French generals smoked full-bodied tobacco. ---- As for Nap Lajoie, his surname is derived of two words, "La" and "Joie" - in English, "The Joy". Joie in french is pronounced "shwah" (it is had to write since we don't use that sound in English, but you could listen to it off of GoogleTranslate on your Android.
