Origins
From an earlier form *ercō, ercīre; -scō. The term *ercō is probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁erk- (“to divide”), cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ark-). According to the LIV, the term may derive from a PIE verb *h₁r̥k-yé-ti, although De Vaan suggests that such a PIE form ought to yield **arc-. Instead, De Vaan suggests that the term may reflect Proto-Indo-European *h₁erk-i-. The spelling with initial h is by influence of the unrelated hērēs (“heir”).
