Etymology

Originally likely an appellative, a masculine u-stem agent noun meaning ‘one who answers’ or ‘one who gives an answer’, based on the same *anda-swar- formation as *andaswarō and related terms. Proto-Norse *Andswaruʀ is explicitly interpreted as a nomen agentis ‘one who gives an answer, is answerable’ by Peterson (2007: 22).
