Where this word comes from

The Swedish Academy suggests deriving from German irren (“wander, stray, err, mistake”, verb), however, the word also works as a variation of yra, which may be used as a synonym, to yr (“dizzy, skittish”, adjective), yr (“whirl, scurry”, noun), which probably is related to the German verb.
