Etymology
Of disputed origin.[1] The word appears to be built off of an unattested root form *शर् (*śar) of uncertain interpretation, whence also perhaps शालाजिर (śālājira, “a kind of dish”); Mayrhofer tentatively favors taking the words as derivatives of शॄ (śṝ, “to crush, shatter”), thus with dishes interpreted as "shards". Other theories deriving the words from Proto-Indo-European *ḱel- (“to cover”) or relating them to Ancient Greek κέρνος (kérnos, “kernos, dish with pots”) appear less likely.[2] Compare also Waigali ćari (“water pot”) (< *carika).
