charyadj.

Brit.

/ˈtʃɛːri/, U.S.

/ˈtʃɛri/

Forms: Old English cearig, -eg, ceari, Middle English chariȝ, Middle English charry, (1500s chearie, cheyrye, chairie, 1600s chairy), 1500s–1600s charie, 1500s– chary.

Etymology: Old English cearig = Old Saxon carag (in môdcarag ), Old High German charag , < Germanic type *karag-oz , < karâ- sorrow, trouble, care. With the sense-development compare careful adj.The palatalization of initial ca- in this word, while it remains guttural in care n.¹, is thus accounted for: in the noun the original Old English type was nominative caru , genitive *cære , whence ceare (compare cæster , ceaster etc.); so apparently the derivative *cærig , whence cearig , with palatal ce- becoming ch- . But the noun retained guttural c in the nominative (even when by u- umlaut it was occasionally written cearu ), so that no such form as chare is found in Middle English. As to sense 3 compare chare adj.
