Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Possibly from Proto-Germanic *harwaz (compare Proto-Finnic *karvas, a supposed Finnic borrowing from this Proto-Germanic word), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kor-wó-s, from *(s)ker- (“to cut off”) + *-wós,[1][2] or perhaps from Proto-Germanic *hazwaz, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱh₃-s-wó-s, from *ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”) + *-s- + *-wós.[3]
