Etymology

Likely from a Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰres-, *ǵʰers- (“short”), and cognate with Avestan 𐬰𐬭𐬀𐬵𐬈𐬵𐬍 (zrahehī, “the weaker (one)”), Middle Irish gerr (“short”),[1] and perhaps Proto-West Germanic *gaurā (“young child”).[2] The adduction of Ancient Greek χείρων (kheírōn, “worse”) as a cognate to this root has been doubted by linguists including Leumann and Beekes.[3]
