Origin
Old English cāwel, caul, related to Dutch kool and German Kohl, from Latin caulis 'stem, cabbage'; reinforced in Middle English by forms from Old Norse kál. Compare with kale.
cauliflower from late 16th century:
Cauliflower is a modified form of the Italian cavoli fiori, literally ‘cabbage flowers’—cavoli comes from Latin caulis ‘cabbage’, the source also of kale (Middle English). The original 16th-century English forms colieflorie and cole-flory had their first element influenced by the cole (Old English) ‘cabbage’, and only later was the spelling changed to match the original Latin root.
