The etymology of this word hinges on whetherOscanurust should be accepted as cognate:
If so, this word is fromProto-Indo-European*h₂er-(“to pronounce a ritual”) (Rix reconstructsProto-Italic*ōrāō[1]), see also Hittite𒀀𒊑𒉿𒄑𒍣(a-ru-wa-ez-zi,“to worship, revere”),𒀀𒊑𒂊𒄑𒍣(a-ri-e-ez-zi,“to consult an oracle”), Attic Greekἀρά(ará,“prayer”), and Sanskritआर्यन्ति(āryanti,“praise”).[2][3]
If not, then a derivation fromōs, ōris(“mouth”) becomes possible; this is still supported by De Vaan.[4][5]
1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used byOld Latin writers; most notablyPlautus andTerence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). 2At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
