Proto-Celtic
Etymology
A fossilised present participle "someone who loves" of the verb Proto-Celtic *kareti (“to love, desire”). The formation is possibly similar to Tocharian B krent (“good, good person”). It could also be a deadjectival noun from unattested *karo-, although this word has a long vowel in Proto-Indo-European *kéh₂-ro-. Either way from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂- (“to desire”).
