Proto-Indo-Iranian

Etymology

Uncertain; possibly from earlier *ȷ́ágarstay after *-rst- heavy cluster avoidance (compare द्रष् (draṣṭā́, “seer”), from *derḱ- (“to see”)), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷé-gʷorh₃-s-tor ~ *gʷe-gʷr̥h₃-s-n̥tór, s-enlarged e-reduplicated athematic present of *gʷerh₃- (“to swallow, devour, eat”). Alternatively suggested to be derived from a *gre(n)s- root, and cognate with Ancient Greek γράω (gráō, “to gnaw, eat”).
