In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish erzer, from Vulgar Latin *ergere, from Latin ērigere. The modern Spanish verb was rebuilt based on the conjugation yergo (“I raise”) (< Vulgar Latin *ergō), hence the other inflexions all having /ɡ/ rather than /θ/. Compare Portuguese erguer, which was also rebuilt in the same fashion. Doublet of erigir, which was borrowed from Latin.
