chua
/ˈsaʊənəs//ˈsaʊərnəs/The word "sourness" has its roots in Old English, where it was spelled "sor" or "sur". It comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*suriz", which is also the source of the Modern German word "sauer". The Proto-Germanic word is thought to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*sū-", which carried connotations of twisting, compressing, or squeezing. This root may have been related to the idea of contracting one's face or wringing out a cloth, which may have led to the association with something that tastes unpleasantly acidic. Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the word evolved to its current form, "sourness", with the same Proto-Indo-European root still detectable in its etymology.
