Etymology

Cognate with Portuguese: encalçar

Cognate with Catalan: encalçar

Cognate with English: causeway

Cognate with Spanish: calzar

In summary

From Vulgar Latin *incalciāre (ultimately related to Latin calx (“heel”)), influenced by Latin ad 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.
