From the ér- stem of either ér (to have worth) or érik (to ripen, mature) +‎ -v (noun-forming suffix, extrapolated based on nouns ending in -v, such as kedv, nyelv). Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. For similar derivation, compare szerv, terv, elv, élv.[1][2]
