garer

French

Etymology

Inherited from Middle French garrer, guerrer, from Old French garer, warer, varer, of Germanic origin, from Old Frankish *warōn (“to guard, keep watch”) and/or Old Norse vara (“to warn, protect”); both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *warōną (“to watch, protect”), from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to become aware of, perceive, give heed”). Distantly related to garder, garde, garnir and ré-vér-er.

Cognate with Old High German warōn (“to guard, keep, take care”), Old English warian (“to guard, defend, be wary”). More at ware.
