Etymology[edit]

Unclear. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ḱruH- based on Old Armenian սրունք (srunkʿ, leg, shank).[1] However, other etymologies have been proposed for the Armenian word, such as a loan from Iranian *sraun-[2] (cf. Avestan 𐬯𐬭𐬀𐬊𐬥𐬌(sraoni)) among others.[3] Albanian kërci may also be a cognate.[4]
