Etimoloxía

Borrowed from Norman caillou, from Old French caillou, kailleu, caillo, caliou, cailloun, calloun, related to Judeo-Old French chailos, chaillous and Old French chaille (“small stone, pebble”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from a Transalpine Gaulish *caljo- or less likely allied to Old Dutch kei (“stone”), from Proto-West Germanic *kagi. Compare Picard cailleu, Walloon caie; also Dutch kei (“stone, rock”).
