Etymology

In summary

From Middle High German spore, from Old High German sporo, from Proto-West Germanic *sporō, from Proto-Germanic *spurô. Cognate with Dutch spoor, English spur. The final -n of the modern form is from the Middle High German inflected forms. The development of a singular in -n with plural in -en is unique, though somewhat similar to that in Herr.
