Etymology

From Old Swedish sar, from Old Norse sár, from Proto-Germanic *sairą.

Pronunciation

Noun

sår n

  1. a wound, a puncture of the skin or a mucous membrane
    Han satte ett plåster på såret
    He put a band-aid on the wound
  2. an ulcer

Usage notes

edit

The immediate intuition is of a small wound, though sår also extends to larger and more serious wounds. Whereas you might qualify with "small wound" when describing what you would put a band-aid over in English, just "sår" sounds okay in Swedish.
