Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese chave (“key”), from Latin clāvis (“key”), from Proto-Italic *klāwis (“bolt, lock, bar”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kleh₂w- (“nail, pin, hook - instruments, of old use for locking doors”) (possibly through an Ancient Greek intermediate). Doublet of clave, a learned borrowing. Cognate with Galician chave, Spanish llave, Catalan and Occitan clau, French clĂ©, Italian chiave and Romanian cheie.
