Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Beekes, possibly from a disyllabic Proto-Indo-European root *h₂erh₁- (“to please, satisfy”), which appears to be related to *h₂reh₁- (“to think, reason, arrange”), apparently reanalyzed from *h₂réh₁(ye)ti, a stative-durative verbal form from the root *h₂er- (“to fit, fix, put together”). See also ᾰ̓ρετή (aretḗ, “excellence, virtue”), ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, “to join, fit”), ᾰ̓́ρῐστος (áristos, “best”).[1]
Older theories derived the word from αἴρω (aírō, “to lift, remove”) with inchoative suffix -σκω (-skō).
