Etymology 1

edit

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.
