In summary

Latinised respelling of Old Spanish aver, from Latin habēre, habeō (“have, hold”), probably from Proto-Italic *habēō or *haβēō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰeh₁bʰ- (“to grab, take”). Cognate with French avoir, Italian avere, Occitan aver, Portuguese haver, Romanian avea, avere, and Sardinian (Campidanese airi, Logudorese àere). The preterite is from metathesis of the Latin perfect habuī > *haubī.
