Inherited from Middle French, from Old French atirer, atirier (to draw to oneself), from a- + tirer (to draw, pull out with great effort, snatch violently, tear away), from Gothic *𐍄𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 (*tiran, to tear away, remove), from Proto-Germanic *teraną (to tear, tear apart), from Proto-Indo-European *derə- (to tear, tear apart). By surface analysis, a- +‎ tirer. More at tirer.
