Sark \Sark\, v. t. (Carp.) To cover with sarking, or thin boards.
Sark \Sark\, n. [AS. serce, syrce, a shirt; akin to Icel. serkr, Sw. s["a]rk.] A shirt. [Scot.]
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
"shirt, body garment of linen or cotton for either sex," late Old English serc "shirt, corselet, coat of mail," surviving as a Scottish and northern dialect word, from Old Norse serkr, cognate with Old English serk (see berserk). But Gordon lists it as a loan-word from Latin sarcia; other sources are silent on the point. Lithuanian sarkas "shirt," Old Church Slavonic sraka "tunic," Russian soročka, Finnish sarkki "shirt" perhaps are all from Germanic.
