Uncertain. Beekes notes that, if it derives from κέλομαι (kélomai, “to urge, exhort”), the -ευ- 'remains unexplained', and compares it to κέλευθος (kéleuthos) and τελευτή (teleutḗ). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. what does beekes mean here? isn't this just the suffix -εύω
κελεύω • (keleúō)
The person being urged or commanded generally takes the accusative (and sometimes the dative), and the action being requested takes the infinitive.
