Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hr̥táHwāns, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hr̥táHwāns, 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 𐎠𐎼𐎫𐎠𐎺𐎠 (a-r-t-a-v-a, “righteous, blessed, characterized by Arta”), Avestan 𐬀𐬴𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬥 (aṣ̌auuan, “follower of Aṣ̌a”).
