Etymology
[edit]Presumedly from Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hr̥bʰúṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hr̥bʰúš, but of uncertain origin:
- Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₃órbʰos (“servant, worker; orphan”), the same source of Proto-Germanic *arbaidiz (“toil, labor, work”) and Proto-Slavic *orbota (“work”). (See अर्भ (arbha).)
- Perhaps a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *h₂elbʰós (“white”). Compare Proto-Germanic *albiz (“elf”) (whence English elf). This supposedly points to the original mythical sense in which elves or craftsmen gods were luminous heavenly workers,[1] thus given the name “white one”, later interpreted in Sanskrit as “skilled one”. The connection with the Germanic mytheme of elves is further said to be supported by cognate poetic formulas, such as “chariot made by craftsmen” as an allegory of the sun; cf. Old Norse Alfrǫðull (“sun”, literally “elf-wheel”).[2] The root *h₂elbʰ- (“white”) is otherwise absent from Indo-Iranian.
- Alternatively non-Indo-European, such as from a pre-Indo-Aryan substrate language; however, this is highly improbable due to the presence of a syllabic consonant ऋ in the word, a characteristic of Indo-European words.
