Where this word comes from
From *kalando- (gerundive), from Proto-Italic *kalāndo-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- (“to call, summon, cry out”). The original gerundive form likely meant “[things] which are called out.” When applied to days, the meaning referred to “days which are called out.” The gerundive was then substantivized, eventually coming to refer the first day of a month. Related to Latin calō.
