köken: From Middle High German alter, altære, from Old High German altāri, from Proto-West Germanic *altārī (“altar”), borrowed from Latin altāre. The form was readapted to the Latin source, partly to avoid homophony with Alter (“age”). Compare also Dutch altaar alongside archaic outer.
köken: Inherited from Old French autel, from a change of suffix from earlier alter, borrowed from Latin altāre (mostly attested in the plural form altāria).
