Where did the word Curry come from?

The word 'Curry' is derived from Tamil word ‘Kari’ referring to a spice tree

North Indians claim it originated from the word 'Karahi' (Indian Wok).

Of course, British have dug up an Old English word 'Cury' derived from the French word 'Cuire' meaning 'to cook'.
Historians will quibble for times to come as Curry gains more popularity. Now a days, it is widely accepted that Curry originated from Tamil word 'Kari'.

Curry is just a spiced aromatic gravy.
