Where this word comes from

Unknown, perhaps from galbanum, but the process is morphologically unclear. May be connected to an uncertain bird called galbus or similar, and may be somehow related to the earlier fashion color term mēlinus (“yellow (in women's fashion)”) (from Greek), as they share the relatively rare -inus short ending and the meaning. Unrelated with Proto-Germanic *gelwaz, which is instead related with Latin helvus. Not attested in Republican Latin.
