Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Dutch komfoor (“warming or cooking apparatus”), ultimately from Old French Old French chaufoire (“warming room, heating apparatus”). The French word belongs to the family of chaufer (“to heat”), from Vulgar Latin Vulgar Latin *calfāre (“to heat”), from Latin calefacere (“to make warm”), formed from caleō (“to be warm”) + faciō (“to make”). The former is ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱleh₁- (“hot, warm”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk komfyr and Danish komfur (“stove”).
