Etymology

[edit]

The original spelling is արաւտ (arawt), probably from Proto-Indo-European *trh₂ǵ-ti-, a deverbative noun based on *treh₂ǵ-, whence արածեմ (aracem).[1][2]

According to Ałayan, the word contains the suffix -աւտ (-awt),[3] but this is considered improbable by Martirosyan.[2]

Noun

[edit]

արօտ (arōt)

  1. pasture, pastureland
  2. herbage, grass for grazing
