Etymology[edit]

The origin is uncertain.[1] An overview of opinions follows.

Etymological note

Windischmann compared with Ancient Greek θρόνος (thrónos, “seat, throne”).[2] The comparison was revived by Marr, who derived both from a “Japhetic” root in the framework of his discredited Japhetic theory.[3]

Müller derived from Aramaic אתר (ʾtr), אתרא (ʾtrʾ, “place”), Classical Syriac ܐܬܪ (ʾăṯar), ܐܬܪܐ (ʾaṯrā, “place”), for the sense development comparing Persian گاه (gâh, “throne; place”).[4][5] This is rejected by de Lagarde and Hübschmann.[6][7]

Hiwnkʻearpēyēntean derived from Turkish oturmak (“to take a sit”), oturak (“seat, stool”).[8] Ačaṙyan rejected the comparison because the older forms of the Turkic word contain an -l-: compare Chagatai اولتورمق (olturmaq, “to sit”).[1]

Karst connected with Sumerian 𒉣𒇬 (/⁠tur⁠/, “animal stall; triclinium; a place used to hold something or someone”).[9]

J̌ahukyan and Olsen mark the origin as unknown, with J̌ahukyan remarking that աթոռ (atʻoṙ) is a late acquisition absent from Proto-Armenian.[10][11][12]

Perhaps from the name of Assur, the capital of the Assyrian Empire: compare Classical Syriac ܐܬܘܪ (ʾtwr /⁠ʾĀṯūr⁠/, “the city of Assur”),[13] sometimes transcribed as Āṯōr,[14][15] Old Persian 𐎠𐎰𐎢𐎼𐎠 (a-θ-u-r-a /⁠Aθurā⁠/, “Assyria”), ultimately from Akkadian 𒀸𒋩 (Aššur). The sense development could have been "capital, throne city, the Seat" → "throne, seat". For such a lexicalisation of city names in Mesopotamia, the most advanced civilisation neighbouring Proto-Armenians, compare բաւիղ (bawił), քաղաք (kʻałakʻ). In this case, a doublet of ասորի (asori).

Noun[edit]

    աթոռս արկանել ― atʻoṙs arkanel ― to give seats or chairs

  3. (biblical) throne (the third highest order of angel in Christian angelology, ranked above minions and below cherubim)
