Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As the Aeol. variation ὠρ-, ὀρ- prob. represents a geminated ὀρρ- (Wackernagel Unt. 136 n. 1), the basis will have been *(Ϝ)ορσανός with accent as ὀρφανός and so perh. from a noun *(Ϝ)ορσό- = Skt. varṣá- n. m. `rain' (cf. Wackernagel KZ 29, 129 = Kl. Schr. 1,632). As e.g. ὄχανον, ξόανον can go back to ἔχω, ξέω, οὑρανός can as nom. ag. belong to a primary verb *Ϝερσ- = Skt. várṣati `rain'; it can however also be derived from the iterative οὑρέω (s. v.), like Indo-Ir. nouns in - ana are connected with second. verbs in - ayati ( = Gr. - έω, Wack.-Debrunner II: 2, 198ff.); meaning then "rainmaker" or metaph. "moistener, impregnator" (Wackernagel l.c.; cf. ἕρση). -- After Specht KZ 66, 199ff. (with Schulze), Fraenkel (s.Wb. s. viršùs) a.o. as "der zur Höhe in Beziehung stehende" to Skt. varṣman- m. n. `hight', Lith. viršùs `upper, highest seat', to which one connected also Ἔρρος ὁ Ζεύς H. (IE *u̯er-s- WP. 1, 267, Pok. 1151f.?); neither factually nor formally to be preferred. It has also been suggested that the word is of foreign, i.e. Pre-Greek, origin (DELG); note that - αν- is difficult to account for if the word were of IE origin. -- Against the old, often repeated but certainly wrong identification with the Skt. gods name Varuṇaḥ s. except Wackernagel l.c. also Thieme Mitra and Aryaman (Trans. Connecticut Acad. 41 [1957]) 60.
