Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *artis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂r̥tís (“fitting”), from the root *h₂er- (“to join”). Cognates include Avestan 𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬙𐬀 (ər^əta, “truth, right”), which in turn descends from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hr̥tás, and Ancient Greek ἄρτι (árti, “just, exactly”). Related to arma.
