[edit]Etymology
[edit]Likely inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₁ter- (“fire”), whence also Proto-Iranian *HáHtr̥š (“fire”) and Latin āter (“black, darkened *(by fire)”), ātrium (“room *(where the fire is)”).[1][2][3] Also found in Balkan Romance and most Slavic languages, although the presence of va- ~ vo- originating from earlier *o (cf. vadhë, varfër, vesh, etc.), itself from earlier *ā, reaveals it as an originally Albanian term, or more generally a Paleo-Balkan one, then borrowed in the other languages.[4][5][6][7][8] It arrived in some Slavic languages likely through Balkan Romance.[4][9][10] An early borrowing from Latin āter, ātrium, although it cannot be entirely ruled out,[1] is improbable,[11] while a borrowing from Iranian[4] is deemed unlikely due to geographical-historical reasons and the semantic field of the term.[11][1] Compare French foyer and German Fokus, Brennpunkt for the scientifical senses.
