From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From French garçon m (1788), from Old French garçon, oblique case of gars m (“servant”), from Medieval Latin garciō m, from Frankish *wrakjō m (“servant, boy”), from Proto-Germanic *wrakjô m (“exile, driven one”), from Proto-Indo-European *wreg- (“to drive”).
Cognate with Old High German wrecheo, recko (“exile, warrior, hero”) (Modern German Recke), Old Saxon wrekkio (“a banished person, exile, stranger”), Old English wreċċa (“a wretch, stranger, exile”), and perhaps to Old Norse rekkr (“man, warrior, hero”). More at wretch, wreak.
