σκάρος
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
According to Beekes, perhaps related to σκαίρω (skaírō, “to dance, to jump”) because of its lively movements. Or maybe related to σκαρῖτις (skarîtis, “a kind of stone”) if named after its colour. Both could be from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut off”); see σκορπίος (skorpíos) and Albanian harrok. However, also compare Welsh cerdded (“to leap”).
