Etymology
From Old Norse tár n, from Proto-Germanic *tahrą, cognate with English tear, German Zähre. The Danish form is originally a plural; the old singular has developed a new meaning, see tår (“drop”). The Germanic word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *dáḱru (“tear”), which is also the source of Ancient Greek δάκρυ (dákru), Latin lacrima. See: Old Norse Nouns '
tár', English Nouns '
tear', German Nouns '
Zähre', Ancient Greek Nouns '
δάκρυ', Latin Nouns '
lacrima'.
