Old Armenian
Etymology
Martirosyan explains the meaning as ‘harvest time, harvest of grape/fruit’, a genitive formation in -աց (-acʻ) from *ար-ա- (*ar-a-, “harvest, harvest time”), from Proto-Armenian *o(h)ár-a-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁os-r̥-(e)h₂, a neuter plural/collective or feminine formation from *h₁ósr̥ (“autumn, end of summer, harvest-time”), from the root *(s)h₁es-, with a close cognate in Ancient Greek ὀπ-ώρα (op-ṓra), ὀπ-άρα (op-ára, “end of the summer, beginning of autumn; harvest, fruit”).[1]
