taghairm

Origin: Borrowed from , from , from , from , from shout]]; compare , from gairm, to call; to invoke, ultimately from the same Proto-Indo-European roots. The Encyclopædia Britannica (3rd ed., 1797) suggests a derivation from + to call, to cry, while the editor of an 1871 edition of Sir Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake suggested a bull or to foretell. These etymologies are no longer to be taken seriously. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
