Etymology

From Dutch garage, from French garage (keeping under cover, protection, shelter), derivative of French garer (to keep under cover, dock, shunt, guard, keep), from Middle French garer, garrer, guerrer; partly from Old French garir, warir (from Old Frankish *warjan); and partly from Old French varer (to fight, defend oneself, protect), from Old Norse varask (to defend oneself), reflexive of vara (to ware, watch out, defend); both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *warjaną (to defend, ward off), *warōną (to watch, protect), from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (to close, cover, protect, save, defend).
