Etymology 1

The origin is uncertain. Usually considered an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *guh₁-ro/eh₂- from the root *gew- (to bend) and cognate with with Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, ring, circle), γυρός (gurós, round), Old Armenian կոր (kor, curved).[1][2][3][4] Awgerean compares with Persian کر (kurr, sandy ground where water collects and filters itself clear; well; small cistern or reservoir; Babylonian dry measure of six ass-loads or sixty قفیز (qafîz)),[5][6] which is from Arabic كُرّ (kurr, dry measure). Compare also Arabic قُرْقُور (qurqūr), Classical Syriac ܩܪܩܘܪܐ (qarqūrā), Ancient Greek κέρκουρος (kérkouros), denoting various kinds of boats and ships.
