Unknown . Two explanations have been proposed: as a loan from Greek αἰρομένη ( airoménē ) , and as having been borrowed from an Etruscan source; De Vaan (2008) points out that connection with αἰρομένη ( airoménē ) – the feminine middle/passive participle of αἴρω ( aírō ) , in turn the contracted form of ἀείρω ( aeírō ) – is problematic, as there is no example in Greek of the use of the feminine form of this participle as a noun meaning "burden"; and that an Etruscan etymology is impossible to prove.
