Ukrainian
Etymology
From Old Ukrainian играчъ (ihrač), грачъ (hrač); the noun ending with "ъ" instead of the expected "ь" as well as the forms with "ґ" suggest borrowing from Old Polish igracz (Polish gracz, Old Ukrainian ґрачъ (grač), кграчъ (grač)); ultimately from Proto-Slavic *jьgračь (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?). Equivalent to грати (hraty) + -ач (-ač).
