語源

Uncertain. In the EDL, De Vaan suggests a derivation from earlier *kalwomno- (“deceiving, accusing”), itself an archaic mediopassive participle related to calvor (“to deceive”). According to De Vaan, the absence of the development -lw- > -ll- implies an even earlier variant *kalu- or *kalVw-. In a later publication, De Vaan suggests a possible derivation from *kalomno-, itself from *kelh₁- (“to call out to”). This pre-form might reflect an earlier thematic present *kalō, which is possibly the source of calō and Umbrian 𐌊𐌀𐌛𐌄𐌕𐌖 (kařetu). See *kelō for more information.
