Etymology
From Proto-Iranian *ātr-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ātar-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₁ter- (“fire”). Compare Persian آذر (âzar), Avestan 𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭𐬱 (ātarš, “fire”), Ossetian арт (art), Pashto [script needed] (or); compare also Old Armenian այրեմ (ayrem), Serbo-Croatian vatra, Irish áith (“kiln”), Welsh odyn, Umbrian [script needed] (atru), and Latin āter, which may be derived from the same ultimate root.
