### Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (HMRA /⁠xar⁠/), [Book Pahlavi needed] (hl /⁠xar⁠/, “donkey, ass”), from Proto-Iranian *xárah, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kʰáras. The meaning of something large is presumed to be from the weight-measure خروار (xar-vâr), originally a donkey-load but later even too heavy for a donkey to carry.
