FromMalaykuli, fromHindiक़ुली(qulī), fromChagataiقل(qul), ultimately fromProto-Turkic*kul(“slave, servant”).
Other forms occur inBengaliকুলি(kuli) andTamilகூலி(kūli,“daily hire”), which are possibly also influenced byHindiकोली(kolī,“weaver; low-class”). TheChinese word苦力(kǔlì), meaning "to exert one's abilities; heavy labour work" in Classical Chinese, may have been influenced by cognates of the above Hindi word in other languages and may have further influenced English.
kuli (pluralkuli-kuli)
Borrowed fromRussianкуль(kulʹ).Doublet ofkulja.
