Dutch
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Dutch siere, from Frankish *seuro, from Proto-West Germanic *seur(j)ōn, which was borrowed into French as ciron (“itch-mite”). The ultimate origin is unknown, as cognates outside of West Germanic are lacking. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kes- (“to scrape”), source of Ancient Greek ξύω (xúō, “to scratch, scrape”).
