Etymology

Derived from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Czech verb orat (“to plough”), which is derived from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Slavic *orati, +‎ -ba. This is related to Lithuanian árti, Gothic 𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌰𐌽 (arjan), Middle High German erran, Latin arāre (all of them meaning "to plough"), Old Irish airim (“I plough”), Ancient Greek ἀρόω (aróō, “I plough”), Armenian արաւր (arawr, “a plough”), and (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Tocharian A and (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Tocharian B āre (“a plough”). All of these come from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (“to plough”).
