[edit]Etymology
[edit]Attested in local Latin documents at least since 910. Its etymology is debated;[1] most probably it derives from a substrate language.[2] If related to Old Irish comar (“co-ploughing”),[3] then probably from Proto-Celtic *kom (“with, co-”) + Proto-Celtic *aro-, the latter from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (“to ploug”).
