If Hebrew can be appealed to for JAREDITE etymologies, then possibly ḥšl, “make weak, prostrate, weary, thin, crush,” with ending -ōn as in the biblical PN ḥešbōn (1 Chronicles 6:18), hence weary, prostrate; crushed, refined”? (RFS). The -ōn suffix used in PNs often can best be understood as a marker for “place.” Hence “place of weakness/prostration” would be a valid suggestion and may have reference to the battle which took place there (JAT).
