Etymology
Uncertain;[1] proposed derivations include:
- From a root common to Ancient Greek χοιράς (khoirás, “like a hog; rock”) and Ζάραξ (Zárax, “name of a mountain”).
- From Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰers- (“to bristle”). Cognates include Latin hīrtus (“rough, rude”) and horreō (“I tremble”).
The linguist Matteo Calabrese supports a connection between this term and Pre-Samnite ιρνενι(α) (irneni(a)).[2]
