gaulus
Latin
editEtymology
editBorrowed from Ancient Greek γαυλός (gaulós) for the vase and γαῦλος (gaûlos) for the vessel. Ultimately a vinicultural loan which Greek has from Semitic, compare Biblical Hebrew גֻלָּה (gullāh), Ugaritic 𐎂𐎍 (gl) (the Phoenician is unattested), from Akkadian 𒄖𒌌𒆷𒌅 (gullatu, “a container”), of unknown non-Semitic origin. Doublet of culullus.
