Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de alt alemany mitjà: gēr

Heretat de alt alemany antic: gēr

In summary

From Middle High German gēr, from Old High German gēr, from Proto-West Germanic *gaiʀ, from Proto-Germanic *gaizaz, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰoysós.
By the time of Early New High German, it had largely been displaced by Speer in general usage. In the 19th century, there were ultimately unsuccessful attempts to revive the term outside of a historical context.
