Etymology

[edit]

Three pronunciations are cognate. "To loosen; to disengage" > "idle, lazy, remiss". Cognate with (OC *kreːs, “lazy, remiss”) and possibly 邂逅 (OC *ɡreːs ɡoːs, “carefree and happy”).

? Area stem: *C-re. Compare Burmese ဖြေ (hpre, to untie; to answer; to ease; to absolve), အဖြေ (a.hpre, answer, solution; response; explication); Khmer រាយ (riəy, to scatter, to be divided up, to separate), ស្រាយ (sraay, to untie, to undo, to explain, to solve).
