Where this word comes from
From Middle English Jarwe, Jaruum, from Old English on Ġyrwum (“(at the) marshes”) (Latin: in Gyruum), dative plural of ġyru (“mud; marsh”), from Proto-Germanic *gurwijō (“mud”) from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- (“warm; hot”). Related to gore, from Proto-Germanic *gurą (“half-digested stomach contents; feces; manure”). The dʒ sound in Middle English j derives from a nasal before palatalised ġ (compare singe).
