From Proto-Indo-European *h₂h₁tro-h₃kʷs (“having the appearance of fire”), from *h₂eh₁tro-, thematicized form of *h₂eh₁ter- (“fire”) (whence āter), + *h₃ekʷ- (“eye; to see”) (whence oculus). The first root also gives the cognates Avestan 𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭𐬱 (ātarš, “fire”), Umbrian 𐌀𐌈𐌓𐌖 (aθru), Oscan 𐌀𐌀𐌃𐌝𐌓𐌉𐌉𐌔 (aadíriis), Irish áith (“kiln”).
