Étymologie (English)

Inherited from ancien français: aigre

In summary

Inherited from Old French aigre, from Vulgar Latin ācrus (possibly via a southern Gallo-Romance dialect), from Latin ācer (with a change in declension), from Proto-Italic *akris, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ḱrós (“sharp”). Doublet of âcre, which was borrowed from Latin.
