Etymology

Of obscure formation. Likely from an unrecorded verb *ābarēn (to be uncovered, be bare) or *ābarōn (to uncover, lay bare, expose), from ā- (from, away, lacking, absent, reversal) + bar (bare); or from a verb *āberan (to not bear, not carry). Probably influenced in meaning by Latin aprīcus.
