(deprecated template usage)

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle High German küren, derived from küre (see modern Kür). Possibly conflated with (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German korōn, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *kuzōną, which does not, however, seem to have attested continuations in Middle High German. Compare Middle Low German kören (whence German kören), Dutch keuren, and Middle English cüren (“to select”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈkyːʁən/, [ˈkyːʁən], [ˈkyː.ɐn]
