Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From pre-Germanic *ḱol-n-éh₂, from a Proto-Indo-European n-stem meaning “storeroom” or “main room of a house”, whence perhaps also Latin cella (“room, cell”), derived from the root *ḱel- (“to hide, cover, conceal, protect”) (whence Proto-Germanic *helaną (“to hide, conceal”)[1]). Further cognate with Sanskrit शाला (śā́lā, “house, mansion, hall”), Old Irish cuile (“storeroom, kitchen”) and possibly Ancient Greek καλῑᾱ́ (kalīā́, “hut; granary”).[2]
