Etymology

2. Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker-
3. Proto-Indo-European *-wós
4. Proto-Indo-European *(s)kr̥wós
5. Proto-Italic *korwos
6. Latin curvus
7. From Proto-Italic *korwos, traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kr̥-wós, from *(s)ker- (“to bend, curve, turn”) + *-wós (whence Latin -vus), and compared with English shrink, as well as Latin carcer and cancer. De Vaan is skeptical of the existence of *(s)ker-, however, and adduces only Proto-Celtic *kurros (“pointed, hooked”) and Ancient Greek κῠρτός (kŭrtós, “bulging, curved”) as cognates.
