Etimología (Inglés)

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἧπαρ (hêpar, “liver”). Doublet of iecur. The Greek word's N-stem oblique base was lost and replaced with a T-stem; had it retained its ancestors' N-stem pattern, the oblique base would have most likely been *hēpan-, *hepan-, *hipan-, or *ipan- instead.
