Etimologie (Engels)

From Middle High German kolbe (“club”), from Old High German kolbo, cholpo, from Proto-West Germanic *kolbō, extension of Proto-Germanic *kulbaz (“round object”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“to form into a ball”). Cognate with Dutch kolf, whence probably English golf.
