keres
CornishEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Proto-Brythonic *kėres (perhaps from a late Proto-Celtic *keresyā) borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Late Latin ceresia, from the neuter plural of ceresium, from Latin cerasium, from Ancient Greek κεράσιον (kerásion, “cherry”), from κερασός (kerasós, “bird cherry”). Compare Welsh ceirios, Breton kerez.
NounEdit
keres f (singulative keresen)
HungarianEdit
EtymologyEdit
From the same Proto-Finno-Ugric *kerä (“round, turning; to turn, twist”) stem as kerek, kerít, kerül + -s (frequentative verb-forming suffix). For the -s suffix, compare olvas (“to read”). Cognates include Finnish kierä (“twisted”), kiero (“twisted”).[1][2]
