Etymology
From *kers- + *-nós or *ker-s- + *-nós. Compare Proto-Celtic *dusnos (“dark, brown”) (see also *dubus (“black”) and *dubnos (“deep; world”)).
Possibly related words:
- Lithuanian kéršas (“with black/white spots/patches”), kéršė (“pied cow”) and kiršlỹs (“grayling”)
- Swedish harr (“grayling”) < Proto-Germanic *harzuz.[1] See also Proto-Finnic *harjus (“grayling”).
- Bulgarian чер (čer, “black”) < *черх (*čerh) like вет (vet) < ветх (veth), if not shortened from черен (čeren, “black”).
- In 3+2 anthroponyms: Thracian *kersas.
- River name: Hungarian Körös (“Criș”), Fekete-körös (“Crișul Negru”).
- Probably unrelated to Proto-Turkic *kara (“black”) and other similar words.[2]
