köken: From Middle Dutch cale, from Old Dutch *kalo, from Proto-West Germanic *kalu, from Proto-Germanic *kalwaz (“naked, bald”), from Proto-Indo-European *gelH- (“naked, bald”). Compare German kahl, West Frisian keal, English callow.
köken: From Latin calvus, in turn from Proto-Italic *kalowos, from Proto-Indo-European *klh₂wós, *kl̥H- (“naked, bald”). Compare Spanish calvo, Catalan calb, French chauve and, more distantly related, Sanskrit कुल्व (kulva).
köken: The term may be compared to Sanskrit कुल्व (kulvá, “bald”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *kl̥H-wó-s. However, the sequence *-lw- yields Latin -ll-, which—according to De Vaan—indicates that the Latin term must derive from earlier *kalVwos, itself from earlier *kl̥H-e/o-wo-.
Possibly from Philippine Spanish cotipio. See also obsolete Chamorro kutipio (“to remove hair by plucking or shaving”) and Classical Nahuatl cuātepēhui (“to go bald; to have hair loss”).
