Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryThe itch mite (Sarcoptes scabiei), which infects the skin.
Inherited from Middle English ciron, borrowed from Middle French ciron (“mite”), inherited from Old French cirun, borrowed from Frankish *seuro, inherited from Proto-West Germanic *seur(j)ōn. Akin to Dutch zier. 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”).
