my work hypothesis on the moment is:
kapesi 'brown, grey' < maybe from Georgian კაფეში /k’apeshi/ 'in the café'
There is one archaic Toki Pona word I couldn't find an etymology for, namely kapesi [basically 'brown' or 'grey']
Does anyone has any idea where it could come from ?

Situations like these happen to all #English speakers, no worries; they are evidence of how terribly overcomplicated our #language is. If you're interested in learning a much simpler way to communicate, I am personally a proponent of toki pona (a constructed language with only about 120 words).
If you would care to learn it, I became fluent in a week - no joke! There's a growing #tokipona community here on Mastodon, and I use it with many of my meatspace friends. 😁👍

Also, it has some philosophical background: speaking the language you realize what things really are.
