Latin

Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *karzō, from the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)kers- (“to comb wool”), extended from *(s)ker- (“to cut”). Compare Lithuanian kar̃šti (“combs, cards”), Latvian kā̀rst (“combs, cards”), Old High German scerran (“to scratch”). Varro falsely connects this with careō, possibly because the word had already gone extinct in his time, with the only reminiscence being carmen (“card for flax or wool”) which was the evident derivational base of the rather common carminō (“I card”).

Alternative forms

• carō, carriō

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈkar.roː/,
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈkar.ro/,

Verb

carrō (present infinitive carrere); third conjugation, no perfect or supine stem

1. (rare) to card (wool)
   • c. 200 BCE, Plautus, Menaechmi 797:

     inter ancillās sedēre jubeās, lānam ca<r>rere.
