Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Apabhramsa कमल (kamala), from Sanskrit कमल (kamala). For the consonants underlying the conservative Apabhramsa spelling compare later Sindhi ڪَنَولُ / कंवलु, Punjabi ਕੰਵਲ / کَن٘وَل (kãval), Old Marathi 𑘎𑘪𑘯 (kavaḷa), Old Hindi कवल (kavala), Hindustani کَن٘وَل (kãval) / कँवल (kãval). Or more directly from Sanskrit काम्पिल्ल (kāmpilla), काम्पिल्य (kāmpilya, Mallotus philippensis). Ultimately a Dravidian borrowing.
