Etymology

[edit]

A borrowing attested from Afranius; the same as Classical Syriac ܟܲܠܵܘܵܐ (kalāwā), ܟܲܠܘܵܐ (kalwā, tiara) from Akkadian 𒆪𒇻𒇻 (/⁠kulūlu⁠/, a kind of turban or headband) which Brockelmann glosses in his Syriac-Latin lexicon as calautica; probably in Latin via Demotic, Coptic ⲕⲗⲁϥⲧ (klaft). Also passed into Arabic كَلَّوْتَة (kallawta), كَلَّفْتَة (kallafta), كَلَّفْتَاة (kallaftāh), a headwear consisting of a cap and turban popular with the Ayyubids and Mamluks, that is in Egypt, and possibly قَلَنْسُوَة (qalansuwa), which might descend from the Latin.
