From pre-Slavic *olkъ (“ell”) +‎ *-ъtь (cf. dial. Bulgarian лак m (lak), ла́ко n (láko)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *Heh₃l-. Root stem cognate with Latvian ȩ̀lks (“elbow, bend”), Lithuanian alkū́nė (“elbow”) (dial. elkū̃nė), Old Prussian alkunis (“elbow”), affixed with n-suffix instead. Furhter akin to Lithuanian úolektis (“ell”), Latvian uôlekts (“ell”), Old Prussian woaltis (“forearm”) (with ō-grade).

Outside of Balto-Slavic, closest relative is Old Armenian ուղուկ (ułuk, “shank”).
