Where this word comes from

Unknown. One proposed source is Ancient Greek ἀναβάτης (anabátēs, “mounted one, horseman, rider”). Another proposed source is the Celtic language Gaulish, from an unattested compound word derived from the same root as Indo-Iranian *andʰás (“blind, dark”) combined with a second element that could either be related to battuo or derive from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂- (“to go”), which gave rise in some Celtic languages to words related to death such as Old Irish atbaill (“perish, die”).
