Etymology

From the root अज् (aj) +‎ -र (-ra). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. Particularly: “Compare अशिर (aśira) for the formation?”

Compare Latin agilis. Probably unrelated to either Ancient Greek ἄγγελος (ángelos, “messenger”) or Sanskrit अञ्ज॑स् (áñjas, “speed”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?).
