Doublet of cylindre.
calandra lark (Melanocorypha calandra); wheat weevil larva (Sitophilus granarius)
Inherited from Middle French calende, calandre. Trésor de la langue française informatisé proposes a dialectal form of charançon as the origin, but other sources derive this group of cognates (including Dutch kalander) from Ancient Greek κύλινδρος (kúlindros, “cylinder”) through Latin.
