Etymology 1
Cognate with Latvian gals (“tip, end”), Old Prussian golis (“death”);[1][2] likely originally an o-grade action noun with meaning “demise” from Proto-Indo-European *gʷelH- (“to inflict, to project”), and related to root-verb gélti (“to hurt, to sting”). For a semantic parallel, compare Latin punctum (“point; moment”), from pungō (“to puncture, sting”).[3] See also English goal, which may be related.
