Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from αἴρω (aírō) with inchoative suffix -σκω (-skō). According to Beekes, possibly from a disyllabic Proto-Indo-European root *h₂reh₁- (to think, reason, arrange), apparently reanalyzed from *h₂réh₁(ye)ti, a stative-durative verbal form from the root *h₂er- (to fit, fix, put together).
