Etymology 2

[edit]

From Old Georgian სერი (seri, supper), from Proto-Georgian-Zan *ser- (evening, night). Cognate with Mingrelian სერი (seri, night), Laz სერი (seri, night), Mingrelian ო-სარ-ე (o-sar-e, shirt, *nightshirt).

Ultimately perhaps from Hurrian 𒊺𒂊𒊑 (še-e-ri /⁠šeri⁠/, evening), itself likely a modified semantic sense derived from Akkadian 𒊺𒂊𒊑 (še-e-ri /⁠šeri⁠/, morning, the morning watch, the latest last hours of the night; later on, in the future), corresponding to Arabic سَحَر (saḥar, dawn).

Noun
