κυλίνδω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Often connected with Proto-Indo-European *(s)kel- (to crook, bend) (whence perhaps κυλλός (kullós, crooked)), but Beekes doesn't find this convincing. The same element -νδ- (-nd-) is found also in ἀλινδέω (alindéō, to roll in the dust) and καλινδέομαι (kalindéomai, to roll about), suggesting a Pre-Greek origin. Compare also κῶλον (kôlon, member).[1]
