calamity词源

calamity (n.)

early 15c., from Middle French calamite (14c.), from Latin calamitatem (nominative calamitas) \"damage, loss, failure; disaster, misfortune, adversity,\" origin obscure. Early etymologists associated it with calamus \"straw\" (see shawm); but it is perhaps from a lost root preserved in incolumis \"uninjured,\" from PIE *kle-mo-, from base *kel- (1) \"to strike, cut\" (see holt).
