Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Gothic -𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐍃 (-āreis), from Proto-Germanic *-ārijaz, from Latin -ārius. Proto-Slavic borrowed from Gothic both the derivations (e.g. *mytařь (tax collector) and *bukařь (scribe, literate man)) and their base forms (*myto (payment, gift) and *buky (beech; record; document) which enabled synchronic morphological segmentation of the borrowed denominals and finally an analogical generalization of the *-ařь suffix for forming other denominal nouns with agentive meaning, on the basis of non-borrowed nominal stems (e.g. *kľučařь on the basis of *kľučь, *zidařь on the basis of *zidъ).
