I was thinking about the Japanese word hachimaki 'headband' the other day, wondering whether the first element hachi was the word for eight or a homonym. Quick trip to a dictionary showed that the kanji for hachi in this case was not the one for the numeral eight, but rather a word meaning a bowl or pot. So, literally hachi means 'bowl-roll'. Of course, this set off the free association mechanism in my head: Latin testa, soldiers' slang for head, but literally 'pot, jug, earthenware bowl', which yielded French and Italian words for head, tête and testa, immediately came to mind. Testa is related to torreo 'to burn, scorch' and also to terra. Jughead and scorched earth.
