Proto-Slavic
Etymology
- From earlier *xoiro-, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱHoy-ro-, from *ḱey- with expressive H. Morphologically *śě- + *-rъ.
- Cognates include Middle Irish cíar (“dark-brown”) (< *ḱey-ro-), Proto-Germanic *hairaz (> Old Norse hárr (“gray-haired”), Old English hār (“gray, gray-haired”)).
- Compare Ancient Greek κιρρός (kirrhós).
- Less likely West Slavic are from earlier *sjēro-, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱyeh₁-ro-, from *ḱyeh₁- (“dark-gray”).
- Compare Lithuanian šėmas (< *ḱyeh₁-mó-).
