Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de turc ottoman: قالدرم

Appartenant à turc ottoman: قالدرمق

Appartenant à grec ancien: καλός

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish قالدرم (kaldırım, “pavement, paving, paved road, enbankment, dyke, a cross”), probably derived from Ottoman Turkish قالدرمق (kaldırmak, “to raise, set up, erect”). See kaldırmak. Sometimes connected to Ancient Greek καλός (kalós, “beautiful”) + δρόμος (drómos, “path, road”), but according to Nişanyan this is a folk etymology.
