Etymology 1

From Proto-Indo-European *kel- (“to hit, strike”) thence also Latvian kalt. From a parallel form of the root Proto-Indo-European *kol- in its reduced grade Proto-Indo-European *kl̥- > Proto-Baltic *kul- whence this term. Cognate with Lithuanian kùlti.[1]

Verb

kult (intr., 1st conj., pres. kuļu, kul, kuļ, past kūlu)

1. (transitive) to thresh

Etymology 2

From Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“to turn, move”). However, according to a different view (Endzelīns, Fraenkel, Blese, Urbutis, Karaliūnas) etymology 2 is the same as etymology 1.[1]

kult (intr., 1st conj., pres. kuļu, kul, kuļ, past kūlu)
