editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Hellenic *kəlḗyō, from Proto-Indo-European *kl̥h₁-, zero-grade[1] of *kelh₁- (“to call”) + -έω (-éō).(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Cognates include Old English hlōwan and English low (verb) (but the similarity to call is coincidental); Latin calō, clāmō, clārus, classis, and concilium; Old Irish cailech; Old Armenian աքաղաղ (akʻałał).
