karask

Estonian

Iiri karask ehk soodaleib

Etymology

Probably borrowed from Latvian karaša (dialectal Latvian karaška). Loaning in the opposite direction (i.e., from Estonian into Latvian) has also been proposed. Another theory suggests a derivation from the stem, which occurs in karge (rough, coarse) (from Proto-Finnic *karkëda), compare karastama (to harden).
