Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: ȝarowe

Hérité de ancien anglais: ġearwe

Appartenant à néerlandais: gerw

Appartenant à allemand: Schafgarbe

In summary

From Middle English ȝarowe, yarowe, yarwe, from Old English ġearwe, from Proto-West Germanic *garwā (“yarrow, yarrow-like herbs”), perhaps derived from *garu (“prepared, ready (of food)”), as the plant was used medicinally for digestion.
Cognate with Dutch gerw (“yarrow”) and German (Schaf-)garbe.
