Where this word comes from
Derived from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- (“to call, shout”), probably via Proto-Indo-European *kl̥h₁rós and Proto-Italic *klāros (“loud”), containing the suffix *-ros (compare Latin -er postconsonantally). Doublet of calō, clāmō, classis, and concilium. Cognate with Ancient Greek καλέω (kaléō) and particularly German hell (“clear, bright”).
