Etymology

Origin uncertain. From Old French garenne, guarenne, itself probably of Germanic origin; perhaps from a *warinne "game-park", ultimately derived from the root of *warjaną ‎(“ward off, defend against”). Alternatively of Gaulish origin; compare varenna ‎(“enclosed area”). Compare English warren.
