Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἱππιατρός (hippiatrós), from ἵππος (híppos, “horse”) + ἰατρός (iatrós, “physician”). Cognate with Aramaic אִפִּיטְרוּס (ʾippīṭrūs), Classical Syriac ܦܝܛܪܐ (pyaṭrā) and ܒܛܪܐ (baṭrā). Reinterpreted as from the root ب ط ر (b-ṭ-r) related to “slashing, cutting”, because the farrier cuts the hoofs.
