Etymology
Possibly from Proto-Italic *kaɣela (“little tie, juncture”), from Proto-Indo-European *kagʰ- (“to enclose”), in this case cognate to Latin cohum, incohō, Oscan 𐌊𐌀𐌇𐌀𐌃 (kahad, “let him take”), Welsh cael (“to get”), Welsh caer (“fortified settlement”), English hedge. Sense 2 is difficult to connect semantically and could represent a diminutive to cavus (“hollow”) with regular syncope. See: Latin Nouns '
cohum', English Nouns '
hedge'.
