Where this word comes from

Uncertain, might be from erail (“to kill, to murder”) + -le or from the obsolete verb ero (“to kill”). However, according to Azkue, erail + -le would have given *eraitzaile (compare hiltzaile (“murderer”) from hil). Instead, he argues for an unattested verb *eran with the same meaning as erail.
