Etymology
From early modern German Kamel (final stress), from Middle High German kemel, kemmel (initial stress), borrowed during the Crusades from Byzantine Greek κάμηλος (kámilos) or Arabic جَمَل (jamal, pronounced [ˈd͡ʒɛmɛl], [ˈɡɛmɛl]). The modern German form was altered after Latin camēlus, from Ancient Greek. All forms are eventually of Semitic origin.
