nounfemininei-stemlabor, work, toilhardship, sufferingFrom earlier *arbaiþiz, a feminine i-stem continuing a pre-Germanic *-ti- abstract of uncertain formation, belonging to the Proto-Indo-European root *h₃erbʰ-. Kroonen 2013: 33 derives it from an unattested verb continuing an o-grade y-present *h₃orbʰ-óy-ti ~ *h₃orbʰ-y-énti, associated with *h₃órbʰos. Alternatively, Weiss 2006: 261–66 derives *arbaidiz either from *arba-idiz < *h₃orbʰo- + *h₁éytis, literally ‘going around’, or from *h₃orbʰ-oi-t-i-s, both connecting the word with agricultural labor through the root sense ‘turn’.
