Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *(s)kʷel- (“crowd, people”), from *kʷel- (“to turn, roll > to travel, settle, cultivate; town”). Cognates include Sanskrit कुलं (kulaṃ), Ancient Greek τέλος (télos) and Old English scolu. The latter part is akin to Lithuanian vaĩkas (“child”), Latvian vaiks (“boy”) and Old Prussian waiх (“manservant”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weyk-.
