{{head|la|adjective form|head=cārā}}

# {{inflection of|la|cārus||abl|f|s}}

===Etymology 2===
{{root|la|ine-pro|*ḱerh₂-}}
Apparently borrowed from {{bor|la|grc|κάρᾱ||head, face}}, from {{der|la|ine-pro|*ḱérh₂sō|*ḱr̥h₂-(e)s-n-}}, from the root {{m|ine-pro|*ḱerh₂-||top, head, horn}}. Cognate to {{m+|la|cornū}}, {{m|la|corvus}}, {{m|la|crabrō}}, {{m|la|cerebrum}} and {{m|la|cernuus}}.

Attested tenuously in a single late Latin glossary, where it is given as Greek, and then in medieval Latin documents from Spain. Appears in Romance languages with the meaning “face, facial features” (corresponding to {{m+|la|vultus}}).
