Etymology
Of uncertain origin. Possibly an extended form of the root कन् (kan), from Proto-Indo-European *ken-d- (“to press, pinch, squeeze”), but formal cognates are few and controversial: compare Ancient Greek κονδός (kondós), κόνδυλος (kóndulos, “knob, knot, joint”) (now thought to be Pre-Greek substrate borrowings) and Lithuanian kánduolas (“kernel (of grain)”).[1] May be ultimately sound-symbolic.
