nounfemininei-stemplowing, tilling; cultivationplowed or arable land; farmlandcrop, produce; yield, harvestFrom Proto-Indo-European *h₂érh₃-ti-s, a feminine *-ti- action noun from root *h₂erh₃-Orel 2003: 23Ringe 2017: 305Wodtko et al. 2008: 322–23. The inherited mobile paradigm was probably *h₂érh₃-ti-s ~ *h₂r̥h₃-téy-s; its accent alternation produced Germanic *arþiz ~ *ardiz by Verner’s Law, with the full-grade root generalized in Germanic Ringe 2017: 305Wodtko et al. 2008: 322. The Germanic meanings reflect the common development ‘plowing’ > ‘plowed land’ and ‘crop, yield’ Orel 2003: 23Wodtko et al. 2008: 325. Compare Celtiberian aratim, formally compatible with *h₂érh₃-ti-m, although its interpretation as ‘plowing’ or ‘arable land’ remains disputed Donners 2024: 11 n. 22McCone 1995: 7Wodtko et al. 2008: 325 n. 13.
