'Cauli' as the prefix in cauliflower, means cabbage.
This vegetable was originally called, in Britain, a cole florye, from the Italian cavoli fiori, meaning 'flowered cabbage'. (fiori is from the Latin flora)
The old French name for this flowered cabbage was a chou fleuri, but, in this instance, it seems that the English word derived more from the Germanic and Italian, rather than from the French.
The English word 'cabbage' is from the Latin caulis,which basically means stem or stalk. Later, caulisalso became the Latin name for the cabbage plant.
The Latin word caulis became kohl (cole) in German, as in cole-slaw. 'Caulis' is also the root word for the Scottish word kale.
SUMMARY
So caulis became cole which became cauli.
