Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *h₂erǵ- Proto-Indo-European *-us Proto-Indo-European *h₂érǵus Proto-Italic *argusder.? Latin arguō Often taken to be a denominative verb from Proto-Italic *argus (“bright”), from the root Proto-Indo-European *h₂érǵ-u-s (“white”), from *h₂erǵ-. Thus cognate with Ancient Greek ἄργυρος (árguros) and Hittite 𒄯𒆠𒅖 (ḫarkiš, “bright, white”). If so, compare English declare (literally “to make clear”) for the sense development. Duchesne-Guillemin, Laroche and Melchert reject the above etymology and instead compare arguō with the semantically better-fitting Hittite [script needed] (arkuwā(i)-, “state one's case, make a plea”).
