Etymology

Inherited from Late Latin ienuārius, from Latin Iānuārius which originally gave the form *genariu, which was rhoticised in Transylvanian dialects thus rendering gerariu (from which comes gerar). Subsequently the non rhotic variety went extinct and folk etymology has analysed the word as been derived from ger (cold weather) +‎ -ar.

Compare also the doublet ghenar, from Greek Γενάρης (Genáris).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /d͡ʒeˈrar/
