"caelum" meaning in Latin

See caelum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈkae̯.lum/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈkäe̯ɫ̪ʊ̃ˑ] [Classical-Latin], /ˈt͡ʃe.lum/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt͡ʃɛːlum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain; possibly from Proto-Italic *kailom (with a gender change to masculine), from Proto-Indo-European *kéh₂i-lom (“whole”), from *keh₂i- or *kh₂éy-, originating in the augural sphere and indicating "the whole" as opposed to templum (“the part”) and cognate with Latin caelebs (and perhaps sincērus and caerimōnia), Russian це́лый (célyj, “whole, intact”), English whole, holy. May be cognate of Oscan 𐌊𐌀𐌝𐌋𐌀 (kaíla, “perh. a kind of building”). The shift from neuter to masculine is irregular.
