Etymology

Uncertain, possibly from a p-extension of Proto-Indo-European *(s)kelH- (“to cut, trim”), whence Latin scalpo (“to carve”) and English sculpt.

Mayrhofer mentions the possibility that the causative कल्पयति (kalpáyati) originated as a p-causative of a variant of कृ (kṛ, “to do, make”). The intransitive कल्पते (kálpate) would then be a backformation from the causative.
