clérigo

From Old Galician-Portuguese clerigo, crerigo, a semi-learned borrowing from Late Latin clēricus, from Ancient Greek κληρικός (klērikós, “(adj. in church jargon) of the clergy”), from κλῆρος (klêros, “the clergy, what is allotted, a lot, inheritance, originally a shard used in casting lots”), from Proto-Indo-European *kald-, *klād- (“timber, log”), from *kola-, *klā- (“to beat, hew, break, destroy, kill”).
