The Spanish word "jurar" ("to swear") does not come from the Latin "iur-", as etymological dictionaries insist. It comes from the Georgian "hurva", "hureba", "hurveba", which are related to heat, and "hurveba", among other things, is interpreted as "anger", "hot temper". The Spanish word "jurar" also means "to curse", "to blaspheme". That closely intersects with such states as "anger" and "fever".
