Etymology
Considered to originate from the root י־ר־שׁ (y-r-š), whose meaning relates to taking possession; supposing that its ancestral meaning was ‘to drive out’ (which, in reference to the previous occupiers of a property, developed to denote the end goal of seizure), this would apply to the driving out of the juice out of crushed grapes.
Cognate to Aramaic מֵירְתָא (mêrəṯâʾ) and Classical Syriac ܡܸܐܪܝܼܬܵܐ (merīṯā), Phoenician 𐤕𐤓𐤔 (trš) and Ugaritic 𐎚𐎗𐎘 (trṯ).
