suaire
French
editEtymology
editSemi-learned borrowing from Ecclesiastical Latin sūdārium (“handkerchief; napkin; shroud”), from sūdāre (“to sweat”) (ancestor of French suer). (If the Latin noun had been inherited by French, the ending would have regularly developed to -ier instead of -aire). By surface analysis, suer + -aire.
