Proto-Indo-Iranian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain; possibly:
- from Proto-Indo-European *úǵtr-o-s, from *uǵ-tḗr ~ *uǵ-trés + *-os, from *weǵ- (“to increase; to be strong”) + *-tḗr,[1]
- from Proto-Indo-European *ústr-o-s, from *us-tḗr ~ *us-trés (“inseminator”) + *-os, from *wes- (“wet, damp”) + *-tḗr,[2]
- or borrowed from a substrate language,[3][4] perhaps via Proto-Indo-European *ūsros (“aurochs”), compare Proto-Germanic *ūraz (“aurochs”).[5]
