[ˈkɛrɛʃ]
EredetFrom the same Proto-Finno-Ugric *kerä (“round, turning; to turn, twist”) stem as kerek, kerít, kerül + -s (obsolete frequentative verb-forming suffix). For the -s suffix, compare olvas (“to read”). Cognates include Finnish kierä (“twisted”), kiero (“twisted”). For the change of meaning, compare kerget (“to chase, pursue”, possibly related) and Latin ambīre (“to go round; solicit, strive”) and circāre (“to go about, traverse, wander”) → Italian cercare (“to look for”).
- transitiveto look for; to seek; to search for
- transitiveto earn (to receive payment for work)
