Etymology 1

From the root ج ر م (j-r-m) from which جَرَمَ (jarama, “to cut off, to pick (fruits from the palm”), applied primarily for palm harvests and then in other regions without palm cultivation for corn. In the sense of a stone implement where something is fused borrowed from Aramaic גּוּרְנָה / ܓܘܽܪܢܳܐ (gurnā, “stone trough”), from Akkadian 𒄖𒊒𒌦𒉡 (/⁠gurunnu, garunnu⁠/, “a small ritual jug, urn, or basin; possibly a mortar”), from which is also Ancient Greek γοῦρνα (goûrna, “urn; basin, sink; mortar”). The sense of a threshing-floor is also found in Hebrew גורן / גֹּרֶן (gṓren, “threshing-floor”), Ugaritic 𐎂𐎗𐎐 (grn /⁠gurnu⁠/, “threshing-floor”), Akkadian 𒈠𒀝𒊏𒈾𒋾 (/⁠magrattu⁠/, “threshing-floor”), Ge'ez ጕርን, ጎርን, ጉርን (gʷərn, gorn, gurn, “threshing-floor”), Blin ወረና (wäräna, “threshing-floor”).
