Etymology
Came into English from Middle English chare, a variant (owing to the verb form charen) of char, cher (“a turn”), from Old English ċierr, ċerr (“a turn, change, time, occasion, affair, business”), from Proto-Germanic *karzijaną (“to turn, sweep”), from Proto-Indo-European *gers- (“to turn, bend”).
