Etymology

Uncertain. Classical Sanskrit खेलति (khelati, to shake), क्ष्वेलति (kṣvelati), केलि (keli, play, sport), etc. are derived from Prakrit by Sanskritization.

Of unclear relation with Vedic Sanskrit क्रीळ॑ति (krī́ḷati, plays), the source of later Sanskrit क्रीडति (krīḍati) and Prakrit 𑀓𑀻𑀟𑀇 (kīḍaï), 𑀓𑀻𑀮𑀇 (kīlaï), 𑀓𑀺𑀟𑁆𑀟𑀇 (kiḍḍaï), which is itself of unclear origin. It is thus possible that this group of terms is of substrate origin or influenced by a substrate term.[1][2][3]
