古英語のserc, shirt, gownから、原語ゲルマン語*sarkiz, shirt, tunicから、PIE*swerg, tunicから、PIE*ser, to join, to tieから、語源的にはseries, berserkと同じ。
英語の語源
sark (n.)
"shirt, body garment of linen or cotton for either sex," late Old English serc "shirt, corselet, coat of mail," surviving as a Scottish and northern dialect word, from Old Norse serkr, cognate with Old English serk (see berserk). But Gordon lists it as a loan-word from Latin sarcia; other sources are silent on the point. Lithuanian sarkas "shirt," Old Church Slavonic sraka "tunic," Russian soro?ka, Finnish sarkki "shirt" perhaps are all from Germanic.
