Borrowed from French calorie, formed from Latin calor. It was originally defined as the large calorie in the early 19th century, with the small calorie being defined some decades later.

From calorie, with a case-sensitive orthographic convention applied to mark the distinction between a small calorie and a large calorie, which are different by a factor of 1000.
