From Latin vallum. Doublet of wall comes from this word via a Proto-Germanic borrowing from Latin.
vallum (plural vallums or valla)
Probably from Proto-Italic *walso, from Proto-Indo-European *uh₂lso-, itself perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, wind, roll”). Compare Ancient Greek ἧλος (hêlos, “nail”).
vallum n (genitive vallī); second declension
