Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *gaholōn, from Proto-Germanic *hulōną (“to call, fetch, summon”), from a conflation of Proto-Indo-European *kel- (“to drive”) and Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- (“to shout, call”), equivalent to ġe- + *holian (“to get”). Cognate with Old Frisian halia (“to get, drive home, take”), Middle Dutch and Dutch halen, Old Saxon halōn (“to get”), Old High German halōn, holōn (“to get, fetch”) (German holen), Latin celer (“swift”), Latin calo (“to call, summon”). Related to Old English healdan (“to grasp, hold, retain”). More at accelerate, claim, hold.

From ġe- + holian.
