Where this word comes from

Uncertain; proposed derivations include: * From a root common to Ancient Greek χοιράς (khoirás, “like a hog; rock”) and Ζάραξ (Zárax, “name of a mountain”). * From Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰers- (“to bristle”). Cognates include Latin hīrtus (“rough, rude”) and horreō (“to tremble”). The linguist Matteo Calabrese supports a connection between this term and Pre-Samnite ιρνενι(α) (irneni(a)).
