Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Uncertain. According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *kars- (“to card, scratch”), which is compared to Lithuanian kar̃šti (“to comb (wool or linen)”) (1sg. karšiù, 1sg. past karšiaũ), Latvian kā̀rst (“to comb (wool or linen)”) (1sg. kā̀ršu, 1sg. past kā̀rsu), Sanskrit कषति (káṣati, “to scrape, scratch”), Latin carrō, carriō, carreō, carō, cariō, careō (“to scratch, to comb (wool)”) (the Latin form varies between manuscripts and is uncertain).

Possibly related to Low German harsch (whence English harsh).
