Etymology

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”).
