History
Borrowed from French Ciron, itself from Occitan Siron.
Borrowed from French Ciron.
Inherited from Middle English ciron, borrowed from Middle French ciron (“mite”), inherited from Old French cirun, borrowed from Frankish *seuro, inherited from Proto-West Germanic *seur(j)ōn. Akin to Dutch zier. The ultimate origin is unknown, as cognates outside of West Germanic are lacking. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kes- (“to scrape”), source of Ancient Greek ξύω (xúō, “to scratch, scrape”).
