Etymology 1

From كَلْب (kalb, “dog”) in the sense of “a predatory animal”, “a dog or a falcon”, connected especially to canine teeth or claws; “to pierce”, as well as the conception of “hunting or catching food”, “a tool or aid in acquiring food”. The sense of a clamp is borrowed from Aramaic ܟܠܒܬܐ (kalbtā, “tongs, pincers; metal device used to hold something”) which also developed from the proto-Semitic sense of a claw.
