Etymology
[edit ]From Proto-Baltic *kelH- , from Proto-Indo-European *kwel(H)- ("to turn, to rotate, to move") (whence also kult , q.v.). The original meaning of this word was therefore "moving place," "movable member, organ." Cognates include Lithuanian kelỹs , kẽlis , dialectal kialis , Old Church Slavonic колѣно (kolěno), Russian колено (koleno), and less likely Ancient Greek κῶλον (kôlon, "organ"), κωλῆ (kōlê, "femoral bone").[1]
