Meaning & usage

fermentation of wine or beer
Where this word comes from
16th century, from a Middle High German *gur(e), *gür(e). Comparable with Dutch geur (“smell, scent”), gier (“manure”), Middle Low German gȫre (“fermentation, strong odour”), Old English gyr (“mud”). Probably related with Old High German gor n (“dung”), English gore, from Proto-Germanic *gurą, but hardly directly from it. Dialectally attested as Central Franconian Jür, Jur, Gur f (“fermentation, flavour of wine”), Alemannic German Gur m (“manure”). The geological sense is from the East Central German mining regions. The further origin of these words is uncertain. Possibly from the root of gären (“to ferment”), English yeast, but the semantic connection may also be due to secondary association.
