Sanskrit ṛi (iyarti) (1)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, the root ṛi (iyarti) means “to go, move, rise, tend upwards; to go towards, meet with, fall upon or into, reach, obtain; to move, excite, erect, and raise.” It is linguistically related to terms in other Indo-European languages, such as Greek ὄρ-νυ-μι (ór-ny-mi), ἐρ-έ-της (er-é-tis), ἀρό-ω (aró-o); Zend √ir; Latin or-ior, re-mus, aro; Gothic argan; Anglo-Saxon ār; Old High-German ruo-dar, ar-an; and Lithuanian ir-ti (to row), ar-ti (to plough). The word iyarti also has a connection with the English word origin. It traces its origin to the Tamil root el through the transformation of el > ṛi (iyarti).
