/ˈkäləm/ /ˈkɑːləm/

Etymologie

[ kä-l&m also k& ] (noun.) 15th century. From Middle English columne (“column (of a page)”), which from Latin columna (“a column, pillar, post”), originally a collateral form of columen, contraction culmen (“a pillar, top, crown, summit”), o-grade form from a Proto Indo-European root *qwel- (“going around”). Akin to Latin collis (“a hill”), celsus (“high”), probably to Ancient Greek κολοφών (kolophōn, “top, summit”).
