Etymology
From caleō + -idus. Cognate with Umbrian calersu. The origin of the sense “with a white mark on the forehead” is unknown. It may be related to Ancient Greek κηλάς (kēlás, “(female goat) with a mark on [her] forehead”). The philologist Alan Nussbaum proposes that the Latin term may have been borrowed from a South Italian Doric variation, *κᾱλαδ- (*kālad-, “spotted”). Although a Proto-Indo-European root *kel- can be reconstructed, De Vaan rejects this etymology as he regards the shift from *kel- to *kal- as improbable.
