• Homophones: angarient, angaries

Borrowed from Late Latin angaria (“forced service”) from Ancient Greek ἀγγαρεία (angareía, “the office of a courier or messenger”), from ἄγγαρος (ángaros, “courier”), from Old Persian *𐎠𐎥𐎼𐎠 (*a-g-r-a /*angarā/, “missive, letter”), from Aramaic *𐡀𐡍‬𐡂𐡓‬𐡀‎ (*ʾn‬gr‬ʾ /*ʾengarā/), form of *𐡀𐡍‬𐡂𐡓‬𐡕𐡀‎ (*ʾn‬gr‬tʾ /*ʾengartā/), variant of 𐡀𐡂𐡓‬𐡕𐡀‎ (ʾgr‬tʾ /ʾiggartā/), 𐡀𐡍‬𐡂𐡓𐡕‬𐡀‎ (ʾn‬grt‬ʾ /ʾengirtā/, “missive, letter; contract”), from Akkadian 𒂊𒄈𒌅 (egirtu, “inscribed tablet; oracle of fate, ambiguous wording; contract, bound deal”), from 𒄃 (egēru, “to be difficult, to be twisted or locked together; to have a twisted tongue, to be unable to speak against an order”). See also Classical Syriac ܐܓܪܬܐ‎ (ʾeggarṯā, “letter, document”).
