Does かしら come from/is similar to かもしらない? If not, how is it constructed? I'm a bit confused

かも知れない means maybe.

On the other hand, かしら？ is more like "I wonder?", or "I suppose?" and is used mostly by woman (men tend to use かな)

According to wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki...

かしら is from the question particle か plus the negative form of to know 知らぬ, which became かしらん, and then かしら　

The grammars are here on renshuu:
