A possible explanation about "kilt" word?

I guess it's too soon for me to post about this issue in the linguistic part of the forum, i'm a newbie after all, so i'll write this here. Of course if you guys think that it must to be moved to that section, that it's great also. :)

Q: (L) I am curious about what I call the "Scottish
Question." Why is it that everytime I start a paper trail
on any issue of conspiracy, there always seems to be a
link to Scotland and Scots?
A: "Celtic," what does it mean?
Q: (L) Well, the word "kilt" comes from "Celtic," but no one
seems to know where they originated... they just sort of
appeared on the landscape, so to speak.
A: Exactly!
Q: (L) Are you going to tell us?
A: No, not just as of yet.

Now, the other day an idea just popped me up while i was travelling by bus, the possible relationship between the words “kilt” and “kult”. When i think about celtic people, don’t know why but i picture rituals, and strong cultist behaviour come to my mind, but… I don’t know if i’m near or far of the aim. I just would like to share this idea with you guys, i wonder if you could ponder it better since the point of view of linguistics.

That may be because you have been exposed to the official history of the celts as savages with bear grease in their hair. Well, the bear grease may be true, but it's highly doubtful that they were savages, quite the opposite in fact.

Here's some more info.

You should probably read The Secret History of the World too, if you haven't already done so.

The problem is that it seems that it is much more complex than the idea of there being a single 'celtic' people.
