αὔριον

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From *αὖρι (*aûri), the old locative of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ews-r-, from *h₂ews- (“dawn”). Cognate with ᾱ̓ήρ (āḗr, “mist, air”), ἠώς (ēṓs, “daybreak, dawn”), and perhaps ἦρι (êri, “early in the morning”); outside Greek, compare Lithuanian aušrà (“dawn”) and Sanskrit उस्र (usrá, “morning light, daybreak”).^[1]
