Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Only attested in the Romance languages. Joan Coromines viewed this word as “one of the obscurest matters in neo-Latin etymology, so much so as to be considered insoluble”. Among the proposed etyma are: * Proto-Germanic *teraną, *tir- (“to tear, snatch, tug”). * Vulgar Latin *(mar)tyrāre, from Ancient Greek μάρτυς (mártus). * Ancient Greek τείρω (teírō, “to wear out; rub”). * Vulgar Latin *trare (“drag”), from Latin trahere (or simply the latter). * Old Persian *tīr (“arrow”); cf. modern Persian تیر (tir). The first etymology is the most likely.
