Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Probably from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to form, to shape”), akin to Sanskrit कर्मन् (karman, “act, effect, result”), or from *(s)ker- (“to cut”), *(s)kerH- (“to break, to section”).
Noun
[edit]- stern (controlling section of a boat)

Etymology 2
[edit]Resultant noun of *kъrmiti (“to nourish”) + *-a, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₃- (“to satiate”) (cf. Lithuanian pãšaras (“fodder”)) or *(s)kerH- (“to chop, to mince”) (cf. Latin carō (“flesh, meat”)). Possibly cognate with Old Irish cuirm (“beer”), Latin crāmum (“cream”).
