Etimoloxía (Inglés)

Herdado de Middle English: columne

Relativo a latín: collis

Relativo a grego antigo: κολοφών

In summary

From Middle English columne, columpne, columpe, borrowed from Old French columne, from Latin columna (“a column, pillar, post”), originally a collateral form of columen, contraction culmen (“a pillar, top, crown, summit”). Akin to Latin collis (“a hill”), celsus (“high”), probably to Ancient Greek κολοφών (kolophṓn, “top, summit”).
