Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. Either from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (green), or from *bʰel-, *bʰl̥H- (yellow). *ǵʰ- > f- instead of the expected *h- is explained as being regular in some dialects.[1] Cognates through the first etymon include holus and helvus; Ancient Greek χολή (kholḗ, bile) and χλωρός (khlōrós, green); and English yellow and gold.
