Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen français: cerche

Hérité de ancien français: cerche

Appartenant à italien: cerca

Hérité de latin: circus

In summary

Inherited from Middle French cerche, from Old French cerche, probably from a Vulgar Latin *circa (compare northern Italian cerca, Spanish and Portuguese cerca), from the feminine of Latin circus. In modern French, the form cerce was probably due to progressive assimilation or from influence from cerceau.
