Albanian
Etymology
Possibly linked to egër as in "bar i egër" ("wild grass"), forming the now old singularized plural from të egjër or a now obscure word with the privative prefix e- + gjër (compare esëll, egjëll and German Unkraut).[1][2][3] A loanword from Latin ebria is unlikely due to unexplainable phonological and semantic difficulties.
Noun
egjër f (definite egjra)
- darnel, cockle (Lolium temulentum)
- chaff, good-for-nothing, useless thing
