Etymology

Cognate with Welsh: garr

Cognate with Ancient Greek: ἄκαρα

In summary

From Vulgar Latin *garra, from Gaulish *garra (“leg”) (compare Welsh gar), from Proto-Celtic *garros, which is of uncertain origin; possibly sharing a Pre-Greek / substrate origin with Ancient Greek ἄκαρα (ákara, “leg, shank”).
