From Proto-Hellenic *kʰénkʰros, mostly derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰer-gʰ-r-o- (“pulverized”), reduplicated from the root *gʰer- (“to rub, grind”) with dissimilation r…r > n…r, and further connected with Ancient Greek χερμάς (khermás), χεράς (kherás, “pebble, gravel”), but the etymology remains unclear. Per Beekes, this and similar words may be of Pre-Greek origin.
