    Proto-Indo-European *-h₂tiinflu.
    Proto-Italic *-ājō
    Proto-Italic *-āō
    Latin -ō
    Latin gelō

      From gelū (“frost”) +‎ -ō, from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“cold”). Alternatively, given the lack of -u- in the verb, it may be built on the second-declension collateral form gelum, rare but attested in Varro and Lucretius.
