Latin palus

    From Proto-Italic *palĆ«ts, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pelH- (“pale, gray”), presumably with semantic shift "gray" > "swamp", though this is semantically tenuous. Either way, related to Latvian peČķe (“puddle”), Lithuanian pelkė (“marsh”), Sanskrit à€Șà€Čà„à€”à€Č (palvala, “pool, pond”), and possibly Ancient Greek πηλός (pēlĂłs, “mud, earth, clay”).[1]
