From Proto-Baltic *ašar-, from Proto-Indo-European *aḱr(u).
Cognates include Lithuanian ašara, Sanskrit अश्रु (aśru), Avestan 𐬀𐬯𐬭𐬏 (asrū), Tocharian A ākär, perhaps also Hittite [Term?] (/išẖaẖru/), [Term?] (/ešẖaẖru/) (< [Term?] (/*išẖakru/)), if the initial iš is, as has been suggested, the reflex of an s-mobile; with an extra initial element *dr̥ḱ- (perhaps “bitter”), also Ancient Greek δάκρυ (dákru), Latin lacrima (from older dacrima, dacruma), Proto-Germanic *tahrą (whence English tear).
