different between chary vs chay

English

Etymology

From Middle English chari, charre, charri, chary, Early Middle English cearig, chari? (“concerned with, diligent; sad, sorrowful; of a person: cherished, loved”), from Old English ?eari? (“careful; pensive; chary, wary; anxious, sad, sorrowful; dire, grievous”), from Proto-West Germanic *karag (“anxious; sad”), from Proto-Germanic *kar? + *-gaz, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *?eh?r- (“exclamation; voice”) + *-kos (suffix forming adjectives with the meaning ‘pertaining to; typical of’)); analysable as care +? -y.

The English word is cognate with Danish karrig (“miserly, stingy”), Dutch karig (“austere, scant, sparing”), Norwegian karrig (“barren; meagre; poor”), Old High German charag, karag (“sparing”) (modern German karg (“barren; meagre, poor”)), Old Saxon carag, karag, Swedish karg (“austere; barren; hungry; needy, poor”).

Usage notes

• Chay could be broadly translated as either "vegan" or "vegetarian" when it comes to food and cuisine, although chay people (some of whom are actual vegan Buddhists) do tend to consciously avoid fat-based cooking oil and n??c m?m (“fish sauce”), so the term corresponds better to "vegan".
