Unknown. Likely borrowed from a non-Indo-European substrate language. Bezzenberger derives from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to bend”), comparing Ancient Greek κυρτός (kurtós, “bent”), κορώνη (korṓnē) and Latin curvus and writing that the semantic extension parallels Latin rotundus (“round”) from rota (“wheel”), but these words themselves are of unclear origin.[1]
