Not 100%*, but you're definitely on the right track.

*By that I mean it doesn't contain all of the morphemes present in the Classical Latin "Capricornus".

You got it! Samde Chabrijne, or "Caprine Saturday", means "Witches' Sabbath". I recently learned that the word in Spanish, aquelarre, seems to be derived from a Basque compound of "buck, he-goat" and "meadow".

A lot of the basic ideas of the "Witches' Sabbath" show great inspiration from pagan Basque religious customs, particularly the worship of a black goat god (Akerbeltz) and goat (and maybe human) sacrifices, ceremonies conducted in the mountains (where the Basque gods were said to dwell), and the use and make of hallucinogens (which later morphed in medieval imagination into the "witches' brew", and perhaps even the witchy fetishisation of brooms).

It's quite fascinating that there are so many parallels with Basque mythology, and yet nowadays we know so little of it compared to the Indo-European mythologies for instance.

Yeah, that's generally what I've been seeing as I've been trying to read more about the topic. It is indeed fascinating. It's a shame that their customs were demonized, but unfortunately not unexpected.
