[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Tear.jpg/250px-Tear.jpg)
From Proto-Baltic *ašar-, from Proto-Indo-European *aḱr(u). Cognates include Lithuanian ašara, Sanskrit अश्रु (aśru), Avestan 𐬀𐬯𐬭𐬏 (asrū), Tocharian A ākär, perhaps also Hittite [Term?] (/išẖaẖru/), [Term?] (/ešẖaẖru/) (< [Term?] (/*išẖakru/)), if the initial iš is, as has been suggested, the reflex of an s-mobile; with an extra initial element *dr̥ḱ- (perhaps “bitter”), also Ancient Greek δάκρυ (dákru), Latin lacrima (from older dacrima, dacruma), Proto-Germanic *tahrą (whence English tear).[1]
