词源

Unknown, but see Wikipedia. Richard Coates has suggested derivation from a Proto-Semitic cognate of Arabic شرق (“east, Orient”), although this is considered unlikely. The river-name is probably derived from Proto-Brythonic *serch, of uncertain meaning and etymology but associated with "circularity".
