Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pōr-, the lengthened o-grade of the root *per- (to beat, hit), whence հար- (har-), the aorist stem of հարկանեմ (harkanem, to beat), and in the same relation to it as կուռն (kuṙn) to կրեմ (krem), բուռն (buṙn) to բերեմ (berem), դուրգն (durgn) to դառնամ (daṙnam).[1][2]

See Old Georgian უროჲ (uroy) for the Caucasian parallels.
