Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- Proto-Indo-European *-tḗr Proto-Indo-European *-trom Proto-Indo-European *h₂érh₃trom Proto-Italic *aratrom ▲ Latin arōinflu. Latin arātrum From Proto-Indo-European *h₂érh₃trom (“plough, ard”) with with long /a/ by analogy with the related verb arō, -āre (“to plough”); the expected outcome would otherwise be **aratrum. According to the linguist Margaret M. T. Watmough, the remodeling perhaps occured when a series of vowel weakenings (i.e. *aratrom > *aretrum) had obfuscated the relation to the verb arō. Equivalent to arō (“to plough”) + -trum. Cognate with Ancient Greek ᾰ̓́ροτρον (ắrotron, “plough”), Old Armenian արաւր (arawr, “plough”), Welsh aradr (“plough”), Sanskrit अ॒रित्र॑ (arítra, “oar”).
