acharn.

Brit.

/əˈtʃɑː/, U.S.

/əˈtʃɑr/

Forms: 1500s– achar, 1600s acharr, 1600s–1700s 1900s– atchar, 1700s attjar, 1700s 1900s– atchaar, 1700s–1800s achia, 1700s–1800s achiar, 1900s– aachar, 1900s– achaar, 1900s– atjaar, 1900s– atjar.

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. A borrowing from Persian. Probably partly also a borrowing from Portuguese. Probably partly also a borrowing from Dutch. Probably partly also a borrowing from Malay. Etymons: Persian āchār; Portuguese achar; Dutch atjar; Malay achar.

Etymology: < Persian āchār pickles, acid or salt relishes, of uncertain origin, probably partly via Portuguese achar (see note), partly via Dutch atjar, †achar, †atchar, †atchaer, †atschiar, etc. (1596 in the passage translated in quot. 1598), partly via the Indian vernaculars (compare Urdu ācār) and partly via Malay achar (now usually acar).It has been suggested that the Persian word derives < classical Latin acētāria salad prepared with vinegar (see acetar n.), but this presents formal difficulties. Apparently first mentioned in Europe in a Portuguese context: compare Portuguese achar (Garcia da Orta 1563). With quot. 1927 compare Afrikaans atjar (either < Dutch or directly < Malay).

In South Asian cookery: a type of pickle or relish made from fruit or vegetables preserved in spiced oil or vinegar.
