In summary

From the now uncommon and mostly slang term calcanho (“foot; heel”), itself from Latin calcāneum (“heel”) (whence also the learned borrowing calcâneo), from Latin calx; less likely from a Vulgar Latin *calcaneāre. Appears as calcannar in Old Galician-Portuguese. Compare Spanish calcañar.
