  1. 1.

    In Hinduism, the fourth and most evil of four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas, traditionally thought to have begun at midnight (00:00) on 18 February, 3102 B.C.E. under the Julian calendar (23 January under the Gregorian calendar), and lasts for 432,000 years.

词源

Unadapted borrowing from Sanskrit कलियुग (kaliyuga, “age of darkness”), from कलि (kali, “Kali, Kalipurush, demon of corruption”) + युग (yuga, “yuga”). Some etymologies claim it was named after the worst throw in an ancient Indian dice game.
