"枪管的内径"，1580年代，来自法语 calibre（16世纪中期，可能是15世纪末），通常被认为最终源自阿拉伯语 qalib "铸造的模具"。Barnhart 指出，西班牙语 calibre，意大利语 calibro "出现得太晚，无法作为阿拉伯语和法语之间的中间形式"。
但是，阿拉伯血统的英语单词发现，阿拉伯语源的想法"没有证据和背景历史背景来支持。更有可能的是，这个词是在法语中形成的"，来自中世纪拉丁语 qua libra "重量为何"（这是 Mahn 在19世纪首次发表的理论），来自 quis 的阴性词格（源自 PIE 根 *kwo-，是关系代词和疑问代词的词干）+ libra "平衡"的词格（见 Libra）。
在美国，以英寸的小数部分表示（.44-caliber = ".44英寸口径"）。在英语中最早的意义是比喻的，"价值或重要性的程度"（1560年代），来自法语。后来，比喻地，"一个人的思维能力，一个人的智力天赋"。
