Etymology
13th century. Probably from Latin culmus (“thatch”), although the open stressed vowel found in some regions and the derived term colmea (“beehive”) suggest the influence of Paleo-Hispanic *kŏlmos; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱolh₂mos. Cognate with Asturian cuelmu. See: Asturian Adjectives '
cuelmu'.
