Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English holt, from Old English holt (forest, wood, grove, thicket; wood, timber), from *holt, from Proto-Germanic *hultą (wood), from Proto-Indo-European *kald-, *klād- (timber, log), perhaps corresponding to a root noun *kél(h₂)d ~ *kól(h₂)d ~ *kl̥(h₂)d-, from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₂-, *kleh₂- (to beat, hew, break, destroy, kill).
