Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Αγγλικά: aundire

Συγγενές με Ουαλικά: anner

Συγγενές με Βρετονικά: annoar

In summary

From Middle English aundire, aundiren, from Old French andier (possibly from Gaulish anderon (“heifer”)) compare Welsh anner, annair (“heifer”), Breton annoar (“heifer”), from Proto-Celtic *anderā (“young woman”), due either to their somewhat animal-like appearance of four legs or to the prominent figuring of bull and heifer design elements; compare its alternative names of fire-dog and dog-iron. Spelling influenced by iron.
