Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hr̥táHwants, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hr̥táHwants, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂r̥téh₂-went-s, possessive derivation of *h₂r̥tós (“fitted”) (*h₂er- (“to fit; fix; put together”) +‎ *-tós (“deverbal adjective suffix”)), whence also ऋत (ṛtá, “order; right, etc.”). Cognate with Old Persian [script needed] (artava, “righteous, blessed, characterized by Arta”), Avestan 𐬀𐬴𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬥‎ (aṣ̌auuan, “follower of Aṣ̌a”).
