[edit] Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *h₁enter (“‘between’”). Cognates include Sanskrit अन्तर् (antár), “‘between, within, into’”), Oscan 𐌀𐌍𐌕𐌄𐌓 (anter), “‘between’”), Old Irish eter (“‘between’”) and Old High German untar (“‘between’”).
PIE adverb *h₁enter gave rise to the adjective *h₁énteros (“‘inner, what is inside’”), whence also Latin interior (“‘interior’”) and intrā (“‘inside, within’”).
