Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *incalciāre (ultimately related to Latin calx (“heel”)), influenced by Arabic اَل (al-) and/or the Spanish preposition al. Compare the form encalzar, Portuguese encalçar, Catalan encalçar. Also compare English causeway, cause- being derived from calciare (“to tread”), which Spanish calzar also descends from.
