Etymology

[edit]

Possibly evolved from an original sense of weak, flaccid, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱremh₂- (to hang); compare Sanskrit श्रम् (śram, to be or become weary or tired, be tired of doing anything), श्रान्त (śrānta, tired), as well as possibly Proto-Germanic *hramō (hanging frame) (though Beekes is skeptical of the Germanic comparison).[1]
