Cognates include Sanskrit ऋत (ṛtá, “order; right; agreement etc.”) and अरम् (áram, “fitting”), Ancient Greek ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, “to fit together”) and Old Armenian արարի (arari, “I made”).

Semantic development was "that what is fitted together" → "tools" → "weapons". Also related to ars, artus, rītus.
