Etymology

From the same Proto-Finno-Ugric *kerä (round, turning; to turn, twist) stem as kerek, kerít, kerül + -s (obsolete frequentative verb-forming suffix). For the -s suffix, compare olvas (to read). Cognates include Finnish kierä (twisted), kiero (twisted).[1][2] For the change of meaning, compare kerget (to chase, pursue, possibly related) and Latin ambīre (to go round; solicit, strive) and circāre (to go about, traverse, wander)Italian cercare (to look for).[3]
