kalefateren

From Middle French calefater, calafater (“to caulk”), from Italian calafatare (“to caulk”), ultimately from Arabic قَلْفَطَ (qalfaṭa, “to caulk”), perhaps via Byzantine Greek καλαφατέω (kalaphatéō, “to caulk”). The Dutch verb originally meant "to caulk" and later developed the sense "to patch up".
