Old Armenian

Etymology

Usually derived from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *n̥-putr-iyo-, composed of *n̥- (privative prefix) and the root which yielded Sanskrit पुत्र (putrá, son). Thus, a semantic development ‘without a child’ → ‘unmarried’ or ‘male without a legitimate child’ → ‘man without own family, unmarried’ is implied. This etymology is formally uncertain.

Classical attestations seem to point to a basic meaning ‘unmarried or widowed (woman)’ which leads Martirosyan to tentatively derive the word from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Armenian *am(w)uiríya-, from *an-wir-íya- (husbandless), composed of the privative suffix *an- (whence ան- (an-)) and *wir- (man, husband), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *wiHrós. Compare այրի (ayri).
