Etimología (Inglés)

Uncertain, but perhaps from Proto-Italic *kʷolsom, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷolso- (“neck”, literally “that on which the head turns”), from *kʷel- (“to turn”). Typologically compare Old Armenian պարանոց (paranocʻ, “neck”); Russian во́рот (vórot), воротни́к (vorotník) (related to верте́ть (vertétʹ)).
See also Old English heals (“neck, prow of a ship”) (whence English halse (“neck, throat”)), Middle Dutch and Old Norse hals (“neck”).
