Etymology 2 edit

Uncertain.

  • Per Vasmer and Sławski: a semantic shift from the diminutive due to the similarity in shape.
  • Per Stachowski: finding the above explanation semantically dubious, he instead proposes an Oriental borrowing, pointing out that a similar dish, aside from Eastern Europe, is known in the Levant and Central Asia. He points to Persian کلم (kalam, cabbage) or کلم پیچ (kalam pič, cabbage roll) – possibly through a Turkic language or Old Armenian կաղամբ (kałamb, cabbage) as possible sources, but remains reserved. The word would have later been altered by folk etymology.[1]
