Where this word comes from

Inherited from Malay getar, from Proto-Malayic *gətər, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *eter (“to shake, to vibrate, to tremble”), *keter (“to quiver, to shiver”). The sound change from PMP *k to PMly *g can also be seen in garis. The similarity with Proto-Mon-Khmer *gt₁ar (“to shiver”) is probably coincidental. Cognate with Javanese geter.
