Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- Proto-Indo-European *-tós Proto-Indo-European *h₂l̥tós Proto-Italic *altos Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- Proto-Indo-European *-is Proto-Indo-European *h₂élisder.? Proto-Italic *-ālis Latin -ālis Latin altāre Possibly from *altos + -ālis, with dissimilation of the -l- in the suffix due to the -l- in the root. The term *altos is perhaps a continuation of Proto-Indo-European *h₂l̥tós, from the root *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”), and it may have once served as the participle to *oleō (“to stroke by fire”).
