Proto-Celtic
Etymology
A derivative of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to turn, bend”),[1] more precisely from *kor- (“putting, throwing”) + *-ets (noun-forming suffix), This word would literally mean " put/thrown ".
Matasović presumes substrate origin after an unsatisfactory search for other European cognates.[2] He does not consider the possibility of an internal Celtic or Indo-European derivation, despite citing De Bernardo Stempel (who makes one) in his entry.
