Этимология (Английский)

Родственно бретонский: gar

Родственно староирландский: gairri

Родственно корнский: garr

In summary

Possibly from garfa (“animal's claw”), from Andalusian Arabic جَارْفَا (gārfā, “handful”), from Arabic غُرْفَة (ḡurfa, “cup or dipper”), from غَرَفَ (ḡarafa, “to ladle”), with influence from garfio (“hook”).
Or, possibly from Vulgar Latin *garra, from Gaulish *garrā (“leg”) (compare Breton gar, Old Irish gairri (“calves”)), from Proto-Celtic *garros; see Cornish garr.
