語源

A cathead (sense 1.1) on the Russian frigate Shtandart with a cat’s head carved on the end.
A cathead (sense 1.1, left) of the Swedish East Indiaman Götheborg to which an anchor has been secured.
A diagram showing the parts of a ship’s anchor. The part labelled a is the ring; ab is the shank; the two parts labelled g are the flukes; and hk, the stock, is a bar going through the upper portion of the shank perpendicular to the flukes. The anchor is raised to or lowered from the cathead (sense 1.1) by a cable or chain attached to the ring at the stock end.
A decorative cathead (sense 1.2).

The noun is derived from cat +‎ head.

Sense 1.1 (“heavy piece of timber projecting from a ship on which an anchor is raised or lowered, and secured”) is from the fact that such a timber traditionally had a cat or lion’s head carved on its end. Sense 4 (“short for cathead biscuit”) is apparently from the fact that the biscuit is similar in size to a cat’s head.

The verb is derived from the noun.
