In summary

Inherited from Middle French garser (“to skin, flay”), from Old French garser, jarser (“to gash, wound”), possibly from Late Latin caraxāre, charaxāre, from Ancient Greek χαράσσειν (kharássein, “to cut, incise”). Alternatively from Latin *carptiāre, from carpĕre (“to pull, pluck”).
Cognate with Galician sarxar and Spanish sajar, both from Old French.
