An Iranian borrowing, but the etymon has not been identified yet. According to Olsen, it is perhaps *čarna-, a cognate of Avestan𐬐𐬁𐬭𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬈𐬌𐬙𐬌(kāraiieiti, “to celebrate, praise”), Sanskritकृ(kṛ, “to commemorate, honor, treat with respect”).[1] For the ultimate origin of the Indo-Iranian words see Cheung.[2]
