Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Possibly from a derivation of Vulgar Latin *cochleār, Latin cochlea (“snail”), from Ancient Greek κοχλίας (kokhlías, “spiral, snail shell”). Compare with colher (“spoon”). Alternatively, possibly of pre-Roman substrate origin. Cognate with Galician, Asturian, and Spanish caracol, Catalan and Occitan caragol (from earlier cagaròl).
