Origin & History

From English scare + -y; scare is from Middle English 'sceren/scharen', influenced by Old Norse 'skirra' (“to frighten, scare off”).

अंग्रेज़ी 'scare' + प्रत्यय '-y' से; 'scare' मध्य अंग्रेज़ी 'sceren/scharen' से आया, जिस पर पुरानी नॉर्स 'skirra' (“डराना, भगा देना”) का प्रभाव माना जाता है।
