Best Answer

The closest Latin root is calibe which means steel.

Most dictionaries will tell you it is derived from the Arabic word qalib meaning a mold, however, this specifically referred to a shoemakers wooden mold and is found in historical documents from the 15th century whereas a variety of declensions of the Latin noun can be found in texts as early as the 12th century.

How is the caliber of a rifle determined?

Well, it depends on what you mean. The caliber is "determined" at time of production based on whatever caliber the manufacturer wants it to be. The caliber can be determined later by looking on the barrel. The caliber will almost always be stamped somewhere on the barrel.
