Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Often traced to Proto-Indo-European *ḱer-, *ḱeres- (“rough hair, bristle”), though this leaves the lengthened grade unaccounted for. Alternatively, from earlier *hezra-, with loss of -z- before -r- and compensatory lengthening of the vowel, from Pre-Germanic *kesróm (“that which is combed”), substantivization of an adjective *kesros, derived from Proto-Indo-European *kes- (“to comb, scrape”).
