Where this word comes from
A borrowing attested from Afranius; the same as Classical Syriac ܟܲܠܵܘܵܐ (kalāwā), ܟܲܠܘܵܐ (kalwā, “tiara”) from Akkadian 𒆪𒇻𒇻 (/kulūlu/, “a kind of turban or headband”) which Brockelmann glosses in his Syriac-Latin lexicon as calautica; probably in Latin via Demotic Egyptian, Coptic ⲕⲗⲁϥⲧ (klaft). Also passed into Arabic كَلَّوْتَة (kallawta), كَلَّفْتَة (kallafta), كَلَّفْتَاة (kallaftāh), a headwear consisting of a cap and turban popular with the Ayyubids and Mamluks, that is in Egypt, and possibly قَلَنْسُوَة (qalansuwa), which might descend from the Latin.
