Etymology

From Proto-Semitic *w-r-d- (β€œto be lead, to descend, to be taken down from a place”), corroborated by originally being written with the Sumerian 𒆳 (/kur/, β€œhighland, foreign country”) ending, the Sumerian term being likely derived from an Akkadian borrowing; compare Hebrew Χ™Φ·ΦΌΧ¨Φ°Χ“Φ΅ΦΌΦ”ΧŸβ€Ž (yardΓ©n).
