Proto-Germanic

Etymology

As its descendants show, this word had already undergone Grimm's law long before its first attestation, and so was likely borrowed long before the break-up of the Germanic languages. The first element is from the genitive plural of *harbaþaz (“a Carpathian”), and is ultimately from the same source as Latin Carpates.
