köken: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁-der. Latin kalendaebor. Proto-Slavic *kolęda Polish kolęda Inherited from Proto-Slavic *kolęda.
Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic колѧда (kolęda), from Proto-Slavic *kolęda, itself from Latin kalendae, calendae. The Latin word probably left a lost or unattested Romanian word *cărinde (compare related word cărindar), which influenced or became crossed with the Slavic-derived version to make the variant form corindă.
