chary
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”).
