κυλλός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Probably connected with κελλόν (kellón, “curved, twisted”). The word has been explained variously as a zero-grade derivation *kʷl̥-yós or *kʷl̥-nós, or o-grade *kʷol(H)-yós, from the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)kʷel(H)- (“to move; to turn (around)”), or alternatively and perhaps more plausibly from *(s)kel- (“to bend, crook”);[1][2][3] compare κυλίνδω (kulíndō), κῶλον (kôlon), σκέλος (skélos), σκολιός (skoliós). In view of the problematic Indo-European etymology, the word may well be of Pre-Greek origin.[3]
