The most frequent use of the word ‘capricious’ is to describe a person whose opinion, mood, or behaviour can change suddenly and without warning. Often times, such people will decide for or against doing something on a whim rather than after careful thought. The term can also be used to refer to weather or an environment that is similarly unpredictable.
