Where this word comes from

Unknown. Suggestions include Proto-Indo-European *kéywelos (“alone”), whence Sanskrit केवल (kévala, “alone”), but the root is obscure and the suffix unexplained. Alternatively, possibly a suffixation of the similarly-shaped Proto-Indo-European *koyl- (see *kéh₂ilos (“safe, unharmed, whole”)), via unattested *cael, though the b in the Latin form remains mysterious.
