Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: alwære

Geërf van Old High German: alawāri

In summary

From Middle High German alwære, from Old High German alawāri (“friendly, good-natured”), from a compound of Proto-Germanic *allaz (“all”) + *wēraz (“true; friendly”). The final -n is an original case ending that was added to the stem in German Low German territory (compare schüchtern). Close cognate with Gothic 𐌰𐌻𐌻𐌰𐍅𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹 (allawērei, “sincerity, simplicity”); for a similar semantic association between "silliness" and "friendliness", compare the unrelated English nice.
