In summary

Borrowed from Middle French coronel, from Italian colonnello (“the officer of a small company of soldiers (column) that marched at the head of a regiment”), from compagnia colonnella (“little column company”), from Latin columna (“pillar”), from columen, contraction culmen (“a pillar, top, crown, summit”), o-grade form from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“going around”).
