Etymology[edit]
Conflation of an r/n-stem (where both stems are conflated, thus gen. itineris from inherited *itinis and analogical *iteris; compare iecur and fēmur), from Proto-Indo-European reconstructed as *h₁éy-tr̥ ~ *h₁i-tén-, from *h₁ey- (whence eō). Cognate with Tocharian A ytārye (“path, road”), Avestan 𐬌𐬚𐬥𐬀 (iθna) in 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌-𐬌𐬚𐬥𐬀- (pairi-iθna-, “(end of) lifetime”). Traditionally considered cognate also with Hittite 𒄿𒋻 (itar), a hapax legomenon widely believed to mean “road, path”, but in recent years the existence of this word has come into question, and it has been reinterpreted as a misreading and a ghost word.[1]
