Etymology

Old Norse

edit

Etymology

edit

Borrowed as part of Medieval Latin and Middle Low German words. In both cases, it stems from Latin -ārius. The suffix -ari replaced the native suffix -i which was used for agent nouns before: skytari (“shooter, bowman”) instead of skyti (“shooter, bowman”), both derived from skjóta (“to shoot”).[1]

Suffix

edit

-ari m

  1. a suffix used to create agent nouns from verbs
    ‎baka (“to bake”) + ‎-ari → ‎bakari (“baker”)

Usage notes

edit
  • -ari, while common in the descendant languages, is never found in the oldest poetry or Runic inscriptions and very rare in Old Norse. Native alternatives like -ir, -i and -andi are preferred.
