editEtymology
editFrom Old Norse sér, the third person reflexive pronoun in the dative, from Proto-Germanic *siz. Cognates include Icelandic sér and Faroese sær where it is still used as the dative reflexive pronoun, as well as Danish sær, which has taken on senses similar to those in modern Norwegian.
Adjective
editsær (neuter sært, definite singular and plural sære, comparative særare, indefinite superlative særast, definite superlative særaste)
Usage notes
edit- Used as the first part in compounds, sær more often than not should be understood in the sense of "peculiar" or "special".
