sace1 (c.1165)

[hp]

[FEW: 11,52a saetacium; Gdf: ; GdfC: 10,604a saas; TL: 9,288 säaz; DEAF:  saaz; DMF:  sas; TLF:  sas 1; OED:  searce n.; MED:  sarce n.; DMLBS: 2895c saetarium]
saarz,  saaz,  saç,  sarce,  sarge,  sars,  sarse,  sarz,  sas,  saz,  sarcer  

There is no etymological source for the -r. The forms with -r appear to be unique to Middle English and Anglo-Norman, though it is unclear where the phenomenon originated. The relationship to Latin saccus and saccare is unclear (the DMLBS attests a sense of 'to sieve through a sack' for the latter), with some forms able to be interpreted as variants of sac#2.
