Where this word comes from
From Middle High German hērre, hërre, from Old High German hēriro, hērro, originally comparative of hēr (“grey-haired, noble, venerable”, whence German hehr), a semantic loan from Latin senior (“elder”). Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *hairaz (“grey”). Cognate with Dutch heer, Old English hār, English hoar, Old Norse hárr; compare also modern German hehr (“noble, holy”), herrschen (“to rule”).
