the.com/head
the command center wrapped in bone, running you on twenty watts of pure electricity.
means The top part of the body containing the brain, eyes, mouth, and ears — and, by extension, the leader, top, or front of almost anything.
from From Old English 'hēafod,' tracing back to Proto-Germanic '*haubudą' and the Proto-Indo-European root '*kaput-,' the same ancient source that gave Latin 'caput' (head) — making 'head' a distant cousin of 'capital,' 'captain,' and 'chapter.' The body part came first; everything else (the head of a company, the head of a river, heads of cattle) is the human habit of calling the most important or topmost thing the 'head' of whatever it tops.
