/ˈkærhi/, [ˈk̟ærhi]
AlkuperäIn the current sense, coined by Finnish physician and philologist Elias Lönnrot in 1860, based on the dialectal word kärhi (“pine whorl”). Probably a back-formation of the dialectal adjective kärheä (“rough, surly”), itself a fronted variant of karhea.
- tendril (thin, spirally coiling stem that attaches a plant to its support)
