Proto-Italic *-ājō Proto-Italic *-āō Latin -ō Latin vorō Probably a denominative verb formed from Proto-Italic *worā, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷorh₃éh₂, itself from the root *gʷerh₃- (“to devour”). The same Proto-Indo-European noun may be the source of Ancient Greek βορά (borá). Alternatively, the LIV suggests it may derive from a causative formation to the same root, in which case it may parallel Albanian megarune. Cognates include Ancient Greek βιβρώσκω (bibrṓskō, “to eat”), Avestan 𐬘𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌 (jaraⁱti, “to eat”), and Sanskrit गिरति (giráti, “to devour, eat”).
