Where this word comes from

Uncertain. De Vaan accepts as correct the notion, current already in Antiquity, that the word originally meant "to call for the help of the Quirites," the Roman constabulary. Alternatively, it may be from Latin queror (“to complain”) through the form, though the phonetic and semantic developments are difficult to trace; alternatively, a variant of quirritāre (“to squeal like a pig”), from *quis, an onomatopoeic rendition of squeaking. Compare the Frankish *krītan (“to cry out, scream, proclaim”).
