Etymology 1 edit

Of uncertain origin. The traditional derivation by Pokorny from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer- (to want, yearn) (whence हर्य् (hary, to like, delight in)) is not mentioned at all by Mayrhofer, who suggests a partial relation to भृ (bhṛ, to bear, carry), as well as contamination by both भृ (bhṛ) and घृ (ghṛ, to besprinkle, moisten). He mentions that ascertaining the ultimate origins of हृ (hṛ) is difficult due to the semantic overlap described above.
