köken: Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek διεγείρω (diegeírō, “wake up; raise”) from δια- (dia-) and ἐγείρω (egeírō, “raise”). By surface analysis, δι- (δια-) + εγείρω (egeíro, “raise”). For psychological and sexual senses, semantic loan from French exciter.

çekim: geçmiş ärsyttänyt · şimdiki ärsyttäisi · ulaç ärsyttävä
köken: From ärtyä + -ttää. The change from -t- to -s- is dialectal variation and unexplained; the expected form, ärryttää is found in dialects and can be seen in cognates like Estonian ärritama, Karelian ärrytteä and Livonian ertļõ.
köken: From Arabic هَجَّجَ (hajjaja, “to fan flames, to fire up”) with irregular fortition of h to ħ as also, for example, in ħarab and ħejja. Compare related Maltese ħuġġieġa (“bonfire”).
