Etymology 1

Uncertain. Possibly:

  1. A derivation from Proto-Indo-European *keHl- whence also Proto-Celtic *kaletos (“hard”), Proto-Slavic *kaliti (“to temper, harden”), Latin callum (“hardened skin”).[1]
  2. Borrowed from Germanic, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *jekulaz (“icicle”).[2]
  3. Akin Old Armenian ոյծ (oyc, “cold, frost”), suffixed with -ull,[3] though the two terms are phonologically incompatible.
