Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German jesen, from Old High German jesan, from Proto-Germanic *jesaną. Variants with dissimilative hardening j- → g- before front vowels occur since Middle High German. The internal -r- is from the past forms (as in verlieren, schlagen), in part perhaps also from the causative Old High German jerien (“to make ferment”), from Proto-Germanic *jazjaną. These developments were reinforced by association with the originally unrelated gar (“fully cooked”). Related to Gischt, English yeast.
