Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English warenne, from - and - warenne (compare guarenne, garenne (game-park)), probably ultimately from *warjan, from Proto-Germanic *warjaną (ward off, defend against); compare also warir, guarir, a borrowing from this Germanic root. Alternatively from *warrennā (enclosed area), from *warros (stick, post), *warrā (post, prop).
