Etymology

It could be believed from the root ق ر ر (q-r-r) from the idea of the glass “standing still” or “chilling” after being shaped. However, apart from the circumstance that the material of a bottle, in general, in the ancient Near East, relatively rarely was glass as opposed to pottery or animal hide, this measure فَاعُولَة (fāʕūla) does not follow regular derivation rules of the Arabic language, in its state during Antiquity, and points instead to a loan from an unattested Aramaic word, possibly paralleling جَرَّة (jarra, “jar, amphora”): for this observation take into consideration the otherwise unrecorded Nabataean gərōrā noted by al-Ḵwarizmī for the scorpion-name جَرَّار (jarrār), جَرَّارَة (jarrāra) (quoted in the linked place) and the particular meanings of “drawing” and “flowing away” applied to liquids documented for the Judeo-Aramaic base verb גְּרַר (gərar, “to drag, to pull”) akin to the Arabic جَرَّ (jarra).

The Jewish Palestinian Aramaic pot-name קררה, קרירה, although primarily used to boil liquids, is probably too remote in form.

Alternative forms, in so far as not mispointed, are contaminated from the source of زُجَاجَة (zujāja, “glass bottle”) in any case, which has the form قُِزَاز (guzāz, gizāz) in many dialects, and long already fulfils the function of a word for a “glass vessel”; though influence from the source of كُوز (kūz, “tankard”) also be imaginable.
