[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’”).
