gallon
English
Etymology
From Middle English gallon, galoun, galun, from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 331: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "ONF." is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., galon (“liquid measure”) (compare Old French jalon), from Late Latin galum, galus (“measure of wine”), from Vulgar Latin *galla (“vessel”), possibly from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Gaulish, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kel- (“goblet”). Cognate with Ancient Greek κύλιξ (kúlix, “cup”), Sanskrit कलश (kalaśa, “jar, pitcher; measure of liquid”). Related to Old French gille (“wine measure”) (from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Medieval Latin gillo (“earthenware jar”)), Old French jale (“bowl”), Old French jaloie (“measure of capacity”).
