köken: From Proto-Ugric *arɜ (“maternal relative”, “mother’s (younger) brother”), probably a Proto-Iranian borrowing, compare Avestan 𐬠𐬭𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭 (brātar), Ossetian ӕрвадӕ (ærvadæ, “brother”). The ending -a in Hungarian may be a diminutive or a third-person singular possessive suffix. It gained its current meaning during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.
