cervisia says "from Gaulish". I don't know how reliable that is, but in any case, this is from Latin and whether the Latin comes from Ancient Greek or Gaulish, I don't know. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
According to White and Riddle its origin is Gaulish and the Proto-Celtic root shown is also the origin of Old Cornish COREF (KOREV in Unified). Andrew H. Gray 15:28, 1 September 2020 (UTC)Andrew
