Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *kail-, from *koil-, the o-grade (plus an extra -l) of Proto-Indo-European *kei-, *skei- (“to cut, to divide, to separate”). For the meaning change, compare Ancient Greek δέρω (dérō, “to skin, to flay”), δέρμα (dérma, “skin”), then from “skin” to “bare, naked.” Cognates include Lithuanian káilis (“skin”).
