Etymology
[edit]Related to कलुष (kaluṣa, “turbid, foul”), with further origin uncertain. Perhaps borrowed from Dravidian; compare Tamil கலங்கு (kalaṅku, “to become cloudy”), கலுழ் (kaluḻ, “to become cloudy”), and கலுழி (kaluḻi, “puddle”), as well as Kannada ಕಲುಹೆ (kaluhe, “dirt”). An Indo-European origin is possible as well; compare कलुष (kaluṣa) with Middle High German hilwe (“fine fog”).
