abc +‎ område, first part borrowed from English atomic, biological and chemical. Last part from Swedish område (area), a compound of both om (around), from Old Norse um (about, concerning, round), from Proto-Germanic *umbi (around, about), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi (around, about, facing, against), from earlier *h₂ntbʰi, from *h₂énts (forehead, front), from *h₂ent- (with the suffix *-s), perhaps from *h₂en- (on, onto) + and of råda (to advise; rule, reign), from Old Swedish rāþa (to ensure, equip, rule, decide), from Old Norse ráða (advise, counsel, discuss, plan), from Proto-Germanic *rēdaną (to decide, advise), from Proto-Indo-European *Hréh₁dʰeti, from both *Hreh₁dʰ- (to think, arrange, accomplish), possibly from *h₂reh₁- (to think, reason, arrange) (with the suffix *éh₁ti), from *h₂er- (to fix, fit, put together) + and from *-dʰh₁eti (forms resultative verbs), from *dʰeh₁- (to do, put, place).
