Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hargʰás (“price, value”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂elgʷʰós, from *h₂elgʷʰ- (“to cost, have value”). Cognate with Ossetian аргъ (arǧ), Sogdian [script needed] ('rγ), Avestan 𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬘𐬀𐬵 (arəjah, “value, price”), Persian ارزش (arzeš, “value”), ارز (arz, “currency”), Ancient Greek ἀλφή (alphḗ, “gain”), Lithuanian alga (“wages”).[1] Compare also Hungarian ár (“price”), an early Indo-Iranian borrowing.[2]
The Sanskrit root is अर्ह् (arh).[3][4]
