Etymology 2
Etymology unclear, but probably from Proto-Germanic *karzijan? (“to turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *gers- (“to bend, turn”). Compare cair (“to turn, go”), char (“to turn”), Dutch keren (“to turn”), German Kehre (“turn, bend”).
Shakespeare had something of a fondness for verbalizing nouns, and sometimes even substantivizing verbs. However, anything other than a "turn" does not seem to make any sense within the broader context of the cited Sonnet.
Noun
car (plural cars)
- (obsolete) A turn.
- 1609 William Shakespeare, Sonnet 7,[7]
- But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
- Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, (after the sun reaches the zenith it, with a weary turn, begins to reel (“to roll”) (downwards))
- 1609 William Shakespeare, Sonnet 7,[7]
