Etymology

Derived from Czech verb orat (to plough), which is derived from Proto-Slavic *orati, + -ba. This is related to Lithuanian árti, Gothic 𐌰𐍂𐌾𐌰𐌽 (arjan), Middle High German erran, Latin arāre (all of them meaning "to plough"), Old Irish airim (I plough), Ancient Greek ἀρόω (aróō, I plough), Armenian արաւր (arawr, a plough), and Tocharian A and Tocharian B āre (a plough). All of these come from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (to plough).[1]
