Etymology

Distorted by folk etymology – descendants distorted it further; there are many regional variants not of all of which are listed in the descendant table below. Explanations:

by surface *syrъ +‎ *-ovъ +‎ *-atъ +‎ *-ka
from Proto-Indo-European *ser- (“related to binding”) and thus cognate to Latin serum (“whey”) and Ancient Greek ὁρός (horós, “whey”)
*syrъ +‎ *voda
borrowed from a reflex of Turkic *yograt, variant of *yogurt, in Yakut суорат (suorat), suffixed with +‎ *-ka after borrowing.
