Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English herberwe, herber, from Old English herebeorg (shelter, lodgings, quarters), from *harjabergu (army shelter, refuge), from *harjaz (army) + *bergō (protection), equivalent to here + beorg (defense, protection, refuge). The final syllable was subsequently altered by analogy with the Anglo‐Norman and Old French suffix -or (as seen in loanwords like honour and labour).
