Etimoloji (İngilizce)

Inherited from Old Spanish camello, from Vulgar Latin *camēllus, from Latin camēlus, from Ancient Greek κάμηλος (kámēlos), ultimately from Proto-Semitic *gamal-. More at camel.
The sense of "drug dealer" comes from the fact that, in the early 20th century, dealers used to hide their drugs on their back when police came near. Some dealers even used to pretend to be hunchbacks, hiding the drugs in fake humps made of cardboard or tin.
