 * No need to go that far afield. Partial reduplication of (from ) +  works just as well, and it has the advantage of explaining the "y" (a letter that generally only appears in Latin in loanwords from Ancient Greek) and the "r". As for the reduplication,  is just reduplication of . If you think about it, rolling and circular things inherently tend to repeat, so reduplication makes perfect sense.
