[edit] Etymology

Old English ǣr. (adverb, conjunction, & preposition), from Proto-Germanic *airiz comparative of Proto-Germanic *air (early) from Proto-Indo-European *ayer- (day, morning) (compare Avestan 𐬀𐬫𐬀𐬭 (ayar), day), Gk. ἠέριος (eerios), at daybreak), see also era). The adverb erstwhile retains the Old English superlative ærest (earliest).
