Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *gurwiju, from Proto-Germanic *gurwijō, variant of *gurwijaz (“manure, dung”). Alternatively, yet less likely, from Proto-West Germanic *garwiju, from Proto-Germanic *garwijō (“yeast, filth, sediment, excrement”), whence Middle High German gerwe (“yeast, residue, excretion, faeces”).
