Meanings
pure, clear, sheer
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *sḱeyr- (‘luster, gloss, shadow’), which may be related to *(s)ḱeh₃- (‘darkness, shadow’), though the formal details are unclear if so. Cognates include Albanian hir (‘grace, favor, mercy’), Proto-Slavic *ščirъ (‘sincere, frank’), Ancient Greek σκίρον (skíron) (skíron, ‘parasol’), and perhaps Irish cír (‘pure’).
